The young funeral director's fears are confronted when he is given a 30-day leave of absence and forced to address his social phobia.

M.V. Moorhead Less Hat, Moorhead Hunter Davis, who plays Greg, holds our sympathy, but the movie's conceit threatens to wear us out. Dec 23, 2020 Full Review Joel Fisher Battle Royale With Cheese Sunny Side-Up feels like a realistic portrayal of social anxiety that doesn't have any easy quick-fix solutions. Dec 4, 2020 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat Sunny Side Up is an example of good storytelling, and it's worth checking out. Dec 2, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member As someone who spent a lot of time battling with social anxiety associated with my severe lack of self confidence, this movie spoke to me on a personal level. Main character Greg's inner voice echoed the one I've heard over the years telling myself I'm not good enough. And his breakthrough as he lets someone in (his new neighbor Emma) was done in an organic way. Would recommend this movie to anyone who has/had suffered from social anxiety, or knows someone who has. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Ok i just happen to know Hunter and Mike and i saw this film a few years ago. Really great to see the finished product. I am a little bias but I think Mike, the actors and crew did a great job. A story that some may have dealt with or going through now. I would have rated it higher but then I may have felt guilty doing that. We may all have a little bit of Greg and Emma in us. This film is worthy to see. I wouldn't say that unless i meant it. I will watch it again. Sometimes you miss the little things. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
