"Hysterical! If you're going to see a play as a sort of escape you will get more than you bargained for here." nytheatre.com

"...Downs flexes his considerable wit in asking if our ability to live in the present has been quashed by our need for familiar outcomes. If that sounds like a lot to get your mind around, fear not, for Downs brings this down to earth in the person of Zooey, an audio-book junkie, who wants her life to be the incarnation of her favorite taped stories."  Denver Post

"...Full of funny surprises." Salt Lake Tribune

"Probably the wittiest new play in the last few seasons, Mr. Perfect is also very wise. In this case Mr. Downs' laser sharp pen skewers our need to have lives reflective of the romantic visions of authors of the past who floridly illustrate the way relationships should begin love at first page and end happily ever after."  Colorado Critic Corner

"In classic Durang style, Downs weaves these seemingly obscure and unrelated encounters with hilarious and thought-provoking questions. The questions, however, can be whittled down to one basic and universal question -- How can we fix our lives?"  Denver Theatre Examiner
