The story never asserts itself in any dramatic or comedic or even home-movie fashion.

Village Voice

Cultivates a sweet, shucksy tone that wears thin in some of the early scenes but ultimately deepens into genuine heart.

Slant Magazine

Despite some winning moments of lo-fi humor and some inspired set pieces, there's simply not enough here to carry a feature film-even one that tops out at 75 minutes.

Rated: 2/4

In some ways, a step up in production value, character types and branching out to other genres for Dave Boyle, but in others, it shows a lack in narrative focus.
