Critic Reviews
The phrase "lesbian comedy" is not exactly an oxymoron, but April's Shower is still a rarity, an expansive, talky and often zany romantic farce, with lesbian characters at its center.
Read the full reviewYet despite the absurdities and predictable outcome, April's Shower is enjoyable, primarily for its refreshingly volatile approach to sexual orientation.

Read the full reviewThe movie suffers from a malady common to tiny indies of the let's-put-on-a-show variety -- it strains for irrepressibly nutty, but lands squarely in annoying.

"April's Shower is funny. On the surface it has over the top humor. But there are also lots of subtle little nuances that catch you by surprise. These are brought about by a combination of good dialogue and great comedic timing. Another fine quality of this low budget comedy is that it gets better and better as it progresses. The casting is also very textured and diverse. Maria Cina is fantastic. Sallie Higgins"
