Bob Anthony "...garners lots of laughs..." "...the conflict scenes are huge and provide for many belly laughs." "It is good family entertainment."

DC Examiner "...the humor never stops..." "...a worthy group of actors." "...the comedy in "Chumbale" doesn't flag."

DC Theatre Scene "...wickedly funny, and extraordinarily brave." "...act one whiplashes like a roller coaster with emotional crescendos and diminuendos." "over the top with expressive acting, capable of making you laugh out loud"

Rich Massabny "...a very funny story..." "...humorous conflicts with in-laws"

Washington Post "...physical high jinks." "...Mario Marcel's energetic Spanish-language production skips along quite drolly on the level of farce." "Bedlam ensues." "...funny and endearing..." "Marcel has invented some clever shtick for the actors"
