A passable, if often dreary, evocation of those '70s road movies in which disillusioned young men (and the occasional woman) took to the highway in search of America, the meaning of things or maybe just a hamburger.

Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
Rotten

A road movie, but made by someone who seems so self-absorbed he might as well be asleep at the wheel.

Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News

What plays for 80 minutes like an intolerable, self-indulgent road trip largely redeems itself in the last 10 minutes, through a moving explanation of the anti-hero's catatonic depression.

Michael Booth, Denver Post
Rotten

So mind-numbingly dull it makes you yearn for one of those World War II-spy instant-death pills.

Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

Must be one of the truest songs of roadside America that the movies have produced.

Charles Taylor, Salon.com
