What I liked
The ensemble to Family Fries is one of those ensembles you want to watch again and again, and with the script, their individual performances were true stand-outs, each in their own right. Also, I want to borrow that amazing record collection sometime.

My overall impression
With an immeasurably dysfunctional family and a trickling downward spiral that shows no signs of stopping, Family Fries is one of those shows where the burn lingers with you long after the lights go out. With a grippingly twisted script written by Pam Eberhardt, each character had a purpose and a place, and each moment in time that the characters shared together as a family is a true testament to a well orchestrated family drama. As an audience member, you only want what’s best for them, but this sadly sick family doesn’t want to get better, and in fact, aid each other into their unfortunate demise. The only real positive is the epic record collection and the killer family fries. A stellar cast, as well as great direction.
