Critics Consensus

An amusingly perceptive comedy about the push and pull of friendship, Sacramento glows with charm even when its characters drive each other mad.

“Sacramento” might not be about California’s capital per se, but it perfectly reflects the latent magic so many people have experienced in the city it’s named for, and the bonds people forge there.

Angarano has the showpiece role, but it’s Cera who proves himself, more than ever, to be a major actor.

Los Angeles Times

The prickly comedy of male-pattern personality collapse gives way to wisdom, something that “Sacramento” has in abundance.

PopMatters

It isn’t a typical buddy road trip promising adventure and comical mishap. It’s a disaster story.

The characters sketched out in Angarano and Christopher Nicholas Smith’s original screenplay are either too vague or schematic to feel real.

I appreciate anyone trying to be a writing-acting-directing-producing Hollywood quadruple-threat, but Angarano should probably just focus on acting for a while.

Exceptionally charming and paints a unique picture of what modern relationships can look like. It confronts complex subject matter tastefully and with heart. The performances were compelling and true.

Fun story, and being from Sacramento, it was great to see and recognize the locations. Not an award-winning movie by any stretch, but a nice way to spend 90 minutes.

as we go from children to adults that eventually have our own children, sometimes we don't seem to have it "all together" like everyone else seems to. this movie shows us how we may not all grow at the same pace, but we all grow eventually. I liked it.
