Entertainment Reviews:
For a documentary about two men who were big-time drug dealers back in the day, The Sunshine Makers is a quaint, damn-near-adorable bit of nostalgia.

Village Voice
An ode to the counterculture's well-intentioned ethos and the dubious conduct it spawned, Mellen's film is the rare documentary to function as time capsule, philosophical inquiry, and rollicking thriller all at once

The Daily Beast
Rating: 3/4 --
A light and lively history of LSD and its most infamous manufacturers, a true tall tale told with a twinkle in its eye.

Movie Nation
Even if you never shake the feeling that there's more to this story, more darkness and scares, there's no question that hanging out with Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn on acid has its appeal.

Rating: 3/4 --
Feilding-Mellen clearly sees them as counterculture heroes. As our national attitude toward drug laws evolves, "The Sunshine Makers" makes that case fairly well.

San Francisco Chronicle
This documentary meanders a bit as it goes between time periods, but it's never less than entertaining and illuminating.

Los Angeles Times
It's an astonishing tale, even if it's roughly told here.
