Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “‘35 & Ticking’ centers around the lives of Victoria, Zenobia , Clevon, and Phil—all friends approaching the age of 35 and struggling to build the families they’ve always dreamed of. While Zenobia (Nicole Ari Parker, ‘Soul Food,’ ‘Brown Sugar’) is still looking for a man, Victoria (Tamala Jones, ‘Castle,’ ‘One on One’) is married to a man who doesn’t want children. Clevon (Kevin Hart, ‘Not Easily Broken,’ ‘40 Year-Old Virgin’), meanwhile, is too geeky to get a woman, and Phil (Keith Robinson, ‘Dreamgirls’) is already married with children, but his wife is not very interested in being a mother. All four of them try to rectify their romantic lives and futures while their biological clocks tick away.”

Movie Critics
“…Although it often plays like a mash-up of excerpts from a long-running TV sitcom, ‘35 and Ticking’ is a lightly amusing indie with appreciably more laughs than many more star-studded and heavily hyped comedies of its kind. … deserves some credit for not neatly wrapping up things in completely predictable fashion.”
Joe Leydon, Variety
“…A capable cast and a good script makes going through a pre-midlife crisis enjoyable. …”
Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times
“…a watchable though sitcom-ish romantic comedy… performances are mostly good…”
John Hazelton, Screen Daily
“…If only the movie had a heart. …the biggest problem with the movie… is the dialogue. It sounds stilted and, well, scripted, to the point that it’s nearly impossible to escape into the film. … [2/4]”
