Funny indie romantic comedy. Very relatable for anyone who has been through their late twenties. A lot of humor and heart. Thoroughly enjoyed!

It's pretty lame when the lead actor Murphy Patrick Martin has to leave his own review alongside other fake reviews (probably cast members or producers). This was very slow and tedious, the directing was sub-par and the writing and acting was infantile. A high school drama class could have come up with a better production. How and why was this even made? 1/10

Alex Magaña writes and directs 29 to Life, which leverages the prototypical attributes of Sheepish Loser Dude romantic comedy to great impact.

Murphy Patrick Martin's performance is strong as the struggling and aimless guy looking (but not too hard) for a way off the mat. He's endearing in his meandering goofball-ness, and as an actor has a unique comedic face that allows his cornball line delivery to shine brightly on screen. He's almost good enough, in fact, to avoid being overshadowed by the excellence of the lovely Diana Solis, who pops off the screen in the always-improbable but thoroughly time-tested role of the charming and supportive hopeful girlfriend who somehow finds something quirky and redeemable in a male notches below her on the attractiveness meter.

Heard and seen this story before? Of course you have, but that's only because it continues to play well when it's executed at a high level, and Magaña manages to get it there. A nation of ADD-afflicted viewers may find the at-times leisurely pacing to be a possible distraction, but even in the arena of largely mainstream and upbeat humor, you can't please everyone. 29 to Life is a worthy selection indeed.
