ROD DURHAM certified reviewer June 15, 2013
The play was funny, but not comfortable, an expression of an actor's view of life in Hollywood. The acting and direction was impressive. A play that revealed the talents of some excellent actors. I enjoyed it.... full review

Novel premise, and so funny! Go go go!... full review
ELYSE COOK certified reviewer June 17, 2013
Interesting concept. The three actors were very good and committed to their characters. I particularly liked Lizzie Adelman. I also liked the production quality of the show, lighting, set and musical transitions. The pacing might have been faster in places, but other than that, it was a good, thought provoking show.... full review
MIKE TARGUS certified reviewer June 18, 2013
Really liked the show. The overlapping themes of narcissism, "LA culture," and self destruction were all woven together neatly in a somewhat twisted and dark little bow. It was done however, in a way, that was funny, and light; without forcing the audience into a train wreck of arguments and unnecessary self-depreciating sequences. Go see it. Acting was strong, and this play will be around for a while!... full review

Maybe I'm sick and twisted... maybe I'm just a little bit fucked up, but my big complaint about Brandon Baruch's amazing new play is what we DON'T SEE. Sure, there's plenty of AMAZINGLY awesome and super connected moments between his two leads (Benjamin Durham and Sto Strouss) - but I really wanted this to be the play that didn't have any limits and didn't hold back - and in that respect, it kind of fell flat for me. Now, don't get me wrong. This is a great show, and Durham and Strouss are giving it their all. Even Lizzie Adelman, who I was admittedly underwhelmed by for most of the show has her moment to shine about an hour in. Me Love Me is a 90% committed, balls to the wall, fully realized production that doesn't hold back. And tha... full review

TAY ALLYN certified reviewer June 24, 2013
VERY well written, VERY well acted, and EXTREMELY original. In addition it was flawlessly executed technically and seems to transcend the typical "fringe" show... I felt like I was watching a published professional play at The Geffen. Nuff said. ... full review

MIKE PASLEY certified reviewer June 24, 2013
This was my first Fringe experience and it was a GREAT one! Me Love Me is a smartly crafted, sharp tongued cautionary tale of sorts about a self-absorbed mess of a human. It's a glimpse at the LA syndrome sinking it's claws into a couple's unbalanced relationship already suffering from drug abuse and manipulation. This show is brave, smart and honest. I really loved the writing and the actors pulled me in quickly. The writing boarders on smut at times and poetry at others, filled with raunchy one-liners and dialog so believable it can cause deja-vu. The set, lighting design and writing really shine and the 3 member cast effortlessly brought a life to the characters and a connection to the emotions, keeping the lunacy of the situation and ... full review
SARAH BREWSAUGH certified reviewer June 26, 2013
An intriguing piece that delves into the psychology of the narcissist and the interesting implications of nature vs. nurture with two people who are biologically identical. The writing is snappy and no-holds-barred with interesting characters who are brought to life through the incredibly talented cast! ... full review
