REVIEW:
"A good first effort by writer/director Jason Allen, buoyed by stronger lead performances than are usually found in independent films with an unknown cast. The unique concept makes it a different kind of date movie...one that should become a Festival crowd pleaser. But a girl foaming at the mouth truly scares me!

REVIEW:
"A likable premise crafted in a refreshingly wholesome and upbeat approach by Allen who wrote, directed, produced and starred in the film-- aptly named References-- provides a sweet and genuine escape from the raunchy or ridiculous antics thrown our way in most commercial rom-coms.
It's still a great rainy Saturday afternoon romantic comedy. In the end, References is rescued and elevated by the film's sheer Arizona beauty, a truly fresh sounding collection of songs on the film's soundtrack, Smith's perpetual smile (she looks as though she could be Sofia Coppola's younger sister), and Allen's ultimate dedication to make an uplifting film that its flaws are easily forgiven".
