Cary Darling Dallas Morning News It'll be intriguing to see where Miranda goes from here. Rated: B- May 8, 2009 Full Review Lisa Kennedy Denver Post Director Miranda shows real skill here. Rated: 2.5/4 Apr 17, 2009 Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle It almost works, too, though ultimately this visually splendid but sluggish story of a twentysomething would-be writer and his impulsive, overnight career as a bank and convenience-store robber takes the money and runs nowhere. Rated: 2/5 Apr 17, 2009 Full Review Gary Wolcott Tri-City Herald Begins with an outrageous concept and takes it to the -- pun definitely intended -- max. Rated: 5/5 Jun 15, 2009 Full Review Lindy West The Stranger (Seattle, WA) A Scrappy Little Indie Odyssey May 5, 2009 Full Review Susan Dunne Hartford Courant The movie as a whole is better than it deserves to be. Rated: 3/4 Apr 24, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member After failing at writing, a Denver writer becomes a criminal. Low budget fun. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Miranda is a Jack-Ass, and the Non-Festival cut of this movie SUCKS Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This film really captures the feeling of the being lost and finally finding what fits, a true coming of age or clarity kind of movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Stupid but a lot of fun. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Low budget, but high pay off. This movie is slick, crafty and funny. Interesting premise and characters as well. Watch it and become a thief. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Very different and pretty funny...mental at times, but not bad at all... Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
