Overview
SPLINTERHEADS introduces Thomas Middleditch as Justin Frost, a twenty-something slacker whose “thing” is that he has no “thing” at all. When a small-time carnival rolls into town, he meets Galaxy (Rachael Taylor), a gorgeous con artist, or “splinterhead,” who has more “things” going for her than anyone he has ever met.

A shaggy comedy with more heart than heft.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Rotten
Attempts to compensate for its too-familiar romantic setup by defining its characters through idiosyncratic hobbies and traits.
Peter Debruge, Variety

Splinterheads, which aims to be a quirkier Adventureland, never rises above mildly amusing.

Rotten
For a better courtship story set amongst the world of cotton candy and Tilt-a-Whirls, rent Adventureland instead.
