This well-produced film revolving around a family restaurant business has plenty of strong drama, mixed in with some good chuckles, and some engaging emotional moments. The backdrop of the restaurant business makes for some interesting setups, but it is the characters-their nuances and endearing quirkiness-that give the film the most entertainment value and it's heart.

Feel good story that delivers big time.
williamgway17 June 2020
This was a film that simply made you feel good. Centered around a group brought together to work at a restaurant under crazy circumstances we find true human kindness prevails over all going against them. You will recognize many of the cast, and they do a great job. It is simple story that is simply told. And that is a big compliment. It's just plain nice to watch start to finish. Worth a watch.
A feel good, well made indie!

You immediately settle into this film during the opening sequence, which is beautifully shot and scored. The movie does a good job creating a feel good tone, while also quickly establishing conflict and capturing the strange dynamics of this charming small town. The film features a talented ensemble cast, who all feel real and relatable. I applaud the director's diverse casting choices, and Paul Guilfoyle does a terrific job in his lead role.
Something for everyone!

Turnover is a fantastic uplifting film that resonates on so many levels. For anyone who has struggled to build a business, or has worked in a struggling office, you will identify with the characters. If you are looking for acceptance and community, this film will reinforce the wonderful possibilities that are out there. If you have experienced health or relationship issues, or have indulged in retirement fantasies, join the Turnover crowd. This is a marvelous modern day story that reminds us that life can be very good at the simplest levels. It is delicious in messaging, visuals and music. Thanks to Linda Palmer, cast and crew for bringing this heartwarming story to the screen!

This is a beautifully told story full of heart about a zany group of misfits who work in a dinner. It's a story told without superheros, without car chases, or guns; it's a story told with insight about the human spirit. It's about surviving in today's world. We need more movies like TURNOVER.
lovely indie movie

Very Entertaining and Groundbreaking Diversity!

"Turnover" is Very Entertaining and Groundbreaking!
Each character is unique having their own journey and culminating in an uplifting and positive conclusion for one and all.
Filmmaker, Linda Palmer, set the Gold Standard for her use of diversity casting of leads and background actors, breaking stereotypes left and right.
Sweet and family-friendly
andrewtschroeder29 June 2020
This is a light hearted story that feels like it could be on the Hallmark or Lifetime channel. Its story of a ragtag group coming together feels familiar, but is heart warming nonetheless. It has nice locations and the actors do a good job. If you're looking for a sweet and family-friendly film, give it a try.

When friends review your movie... You'll get 9s and 10s.
Somehow this got produced. Too many weak storylines, too much forced or bad acting, way too much bad dialogue.
There are some bright spots, some (3) of the actors can actually act. The main storyline is nice, but unremarkable.

A Real Life Movie!

I had the pleasure of watching this film at the Bentonville Film Festival and was thoroughly entertained! I love a film that I think about for several days after watching. One where you can relate to the story and the characters. It was about real life with laughs, smiles and tears! LOVED IT!
Rewarding and Emotional
GilbertS-8529 June 2020
Solid and heartwarming indie. I've been searching for these kinds of movies where I can get a positive emotional payoff. Yeah, the pandemic has been getting me down, and this movie is precisely what I need. I super dug the acting, especially Paul Guilfoyle. From the trailer and the beginning, I knew what I was getting into and that I was in good hands.
A very heart felt movie
jessica_m_s13 April 2019
From the very beginning to the end of the movie will heighten all your emotions. I cried, I laughed and could relate. The cast and crew are amazing. Linda and her crew did an amazing job with this production. Congratulations very well done.
Drawn in from the start!

Heartwarming Indie Film
JGReviews19 June 2020
Turnover is a heartwarming little indie that I stumbled upon when skimming through the new releases on Amazon, and I'm happy I checked it out. Paul Guilfoyle, who you might recognize from several other projects, has some health issues and his doctor recommends that he take some time off from his cafe. Paul's disgruntled manager ends up hiring what seems to be a rag tag group to take care of the cafe while he's gone, but what's great is that the group really grows together and shows what they have to offer. The unlikely team of misfits rally around each other and it's really sweet. I think Turnover was just the film I needed while I'm still stuck here in quarantine.
Feel Good Film
MRP-Ent20 July 2020
Light hearted and feel good film. The story centered around a group of misfits banding together is something the world really needs right now. Good performances all around, but especially from Paul Guilfoyle who never disappoints. And the score completes the package. Recommend this film!
Great Performances
jbmaughon23 July 2020
Turnover is a story of a group of misfits trying to open a franchise restaurant. Turnover delivers a lot of heart with a strong set of diverse characters. Great performances, especially from Carlos Carrasco as Miguel. Well worth the watch.
Brilliant Tearjerker!
mkline-2591829 March 2019
I laughed. I cried. I laugher harder. I cried again. Such a touching story with brilliant acting and music. Turnover is a comedic antidote to so much violence that kids witness. Bring the whole family! There something for everyone who has ever felt like a misfit. And who hasn't?
What a great movie from the heart!

Love Has No Boundaries

Funny, sweet... what's not to love?
directortim201218 June 2020
Every day the news is off the charts depressing. So a little light and joy is really needed right now. This movie delivers laughs, friendship, joy, love... and just made me incredibly happy! A group of outsiders coming together make this cafe feel a little like the 80's sit-com Cheers to me. A place that makes you feel at home and laugh at the same time. Though Turnover is more family-friendly. But still, that same welcoming vibe. Featuring a great cast and story, this a sweet film, very lovingly made.
