Despite their localized success, however, Gentillon is convinced that the pair could achieve even greater fame if they could only reach a wider audience. Unfortunately for Greg and Gentillon the laughs just don't flow as freely in Toronto as they do in Aylmer, and now as they trudge from hostel to hostel under the care of their decidedly shifty manager, these two would-be superstars are about to find out that it takes more than broken English, bad suits, and flimsy gags to reach the top. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

Greg & Gentillon finds a shiver of poignancy, a hint of tenderness, that's rare in this genre. Full Review
