what the others say
Time Out
"You're left with the feeling that Sorrentino's eccentric story and daring style masks just another movie about the healing powers of the road."
Empire
"Determinedly quirky and cool, arresting and ultimately too baffling to be satisfying, although Penn is priceless. Cultdom beckons."
Litte White Lies
"Worth catching for the stunning soundtrack and Sorrentino's mad direction."
