Description: This send-up of sitcoms can't solve its problems as smoothly as the old shows it spoofs did
"...The zippy dance breaks choreographed by Lisa del Rosario always give the show a lift. Jude Hickey's spot-on channeling of Agnes Moorehead on Bewitched, complete with heavy blue eye shadow and thick false lashes, deserves an award of some kind..."

Screens Review January 18, 2002

Description: There are hints of a meaty complexity to Welles' The Magnificent Ambersons beyond its doomed-love motif, but the 88-minutes-long film, while striking, is too brief to really explore all that it hints at.

Exhibitionism
Arts Review December 14, 2001
by Robert Faires
Description: Reeling frenetically from song to show-biz anecdote to soap dialogue and back, like Judy Garland on a speed jag, with its star channeling everyone from Bette Davis and Phyllis Diller to Ethel Merman and Joan Crawford, Lypsinka! The Boxed Set is a hoot, a joyride through a neighborhood of tacky mansions haunted by grande dames of outsized egos and overwrought emotions.
"...But when you watch Lypsinka, say, belting a glitzy version of "I've Got to Be Me" or rattling off one of Norma Desmond's screeds from Sunset Blvd., there is that same weird sense that you get in The Exorcist of looking at someone speak and knowing that the voice you're hearing isn't coming from that person, yet you're still accepting the connection between it and the "speaker." You hear this vintage Vegas stage patter or histrionic blast from some creaky Hollywood sudser and you get what it is, you may even recognize the bit or the voice delivering it -- in a mere 60 minutes, Lypsinka channels Joan Crawford, Phyllis Diller, Bette Davis, Ethel Merman, everyone from Natalie Wood in Gypsy to Agnes Moorehead in Bewitched to Faye Dunaway in Chinatown -- but the power of the moment, the conviction of the performer within the world she is creating, vaults you beyond your awareness of the recording of someone else to a place where what's being pretended is also real. Lypsinka is speaking, just as Regan is growling the voice of Satan...."
