"John Walsh's Pipe Dream is one of the funniest films I've seen this year. ...Donovan has never shown this kind of spry leading-man charm, and his flirtation with Parker has just enough competitive hostility to set off sparks."
--ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

"A witty, low-key romantic comedy... The dialogue by Walsh and Cynthia Kaplan, is sharp and nimble. ."
--VILLAGE VOICE

"She's smart. She's sexy. She's taken. Thanks to a new season of 'The West Wing' and a role in 'Red Dragon,' this moment belongs to Mary-Louise Parker. ...Parker also stars this month in the indie film 'Pipe Dream'.."
--NEWSWEEK

"Donovan and Parker are so utterly charming, and director John Walsh's touch is so perfectly light, that the film immediately swept me up into its world."
--SEATTLE TIMES

"Donovan makes us totally believe the character and his predicament, co-star Mary-Louise Parker is especially witty and winning as the film's screenwriter, and the script makes a shrewd statement about how people are invariably ruled by their false perceptions of others."
--SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER

A plumber looking for a date and a screenwriter looking to direct conspire together to lie, cheat, steal, and fall in love.
