Thomas Middleditch plays an awkward loser who meets a beautiful carnival hustler played by Rachael Taylor and begin a unconventional friendship which doesn't sit well with her bully of a boyfriend played by Dean Winters. This had some pretty funny moments and dialogue. Pretty entertaining movie, with Rachael Taylor being the standout

Enjoyable in its dorkiness, but not enough to make it stand out from the similar themed movie "Adventureland".

76% "What are you diong drinking with carny folk?"-Justin Frost (Thomas Middleditch) The kid is beyond dorky, making the blossoming relatationship with Galaxy harder to accept (he would have been great in HOT ROD). The last ten minutes go off the deep end, in RAISING ARIZONA fashion. "Oh Susan, I've spent the last year waiting to die. Now, all of a sudden, I'm given an award for living!"-Albert Hale (Edmund Lyndeck)

I didn't hate it, but I feel like it was a very watered down version of Adventureland, but on the bright side it talks about GEOCACHING!!!!

Amiable and proficient, this indie romantic comedy is never more or less than reliable.

Splinterheads might suffice some late night on cable, but that's about it.

A shaggy comedy with more heart than heft.

Mike Russell

Oregonian

The leads have no chemistry; the supporting cast of carnies and eccentrics is bland; the staging is dull; not a single gag lands; and Justin and Galaxy's one get-to-know-you conversation is never heard because it's buried in a road trip music montage.

Rated: D-

Avi Offer

NYC Movie Guru

Amusing, lively and imaginative with terrific, crisp cinematography, but it's often too cartoonish, convoluted, juvenile and low on laughs.

Rated: 5.25/10

NewsBlaze

Boasts loads of playful characters, kooky conversations and gorgeous visuals in the suburban wilds to spare. Not to mention the reputed oldest man in the world, Frankie Faison as unlikely boy toy, and a crazed cop with the pathological hots for Mom.
