Critic Reviews

Neil Genzlinger, New York Times
Ray Romano makes a quick comedy tour and an intern films it. But much of the onstage material is recycled, and the down-time banter is more irritating than entertaining.
Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News
If you've had a hole in your heart since Everybody Loves Raymond ended, Tom Caltabiano's low-key documentary about star Ray Romano ought to fill the gap nicely.
Kyle Smith, New York Post
You've seen him be funny on TV for nothing, but you'll have to shell out $10.75 to see Ray Romano unwrap a Subway sandwich.
Jan Stuart, Newsday
95 Miles to Go comes across as a second banana's unwitting bid for sympathy and attention.
Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly
The mangy joke in the defiantly homemade documentary 95 Miles to Go is that Ray Romano on a business trip is no different from any other schmo, minus the autograph signing.
John DeFore, Hollywood Reporter
There's very little that Romano does in this behind-the-scenes feature by first-timer Tom Caltabiano that isn't stupefyingly dull. It's no crime for a comedian to be a dud offstage; releasing a movie to prove this isn't the wisest career move.
Cole Smithey, ColeSmithey.com
You won't get a bellyache, but you just might get a headache.
Kam Williams, DallasBlack.com
Hey, everybody loves the real Ray Romano, too!
Eric Lurio, Greenwich Village Gazette
Following someone around for a while isn't always interesting,
Daniel Eagan, Film Journal International
The film contains relatively little footage of Romano performing on stage. What it offers instead is a surprisingly unvarnished look at the machinery of show business.
Maitland McDonagh, TV Guide's Movie Guide
Romano and Caltabiano mostly watch TV and squabble about whose fault it is they're running a few minutes late.
Timothy Knight, Reel.com
Nothing of real import transpires in 95 Miles to Go, which at times comes close to resembling a glorified home movie.
Chris Cabin, Filmcritic.com
could have been an absolute stunner of fame-induced paranoia, but it's happy where it is
Tim Grierson, L.A. Weekly
Stupendously uneventful.
Andy Klein, Los Angeles CityBeat
There's nothing here that will make anyone stop loving Raymond, but nothing to convert newbies either.
Cherryl Dawson and Leigh Ann Palone, TheMovieChicks.com
What you see is what you get. Ray, with all his neuroses in evidence, doesn't have a problem sharing his insecurities and he comes across as a genuinely nice guy, with more charm than angst.
Harvey S. Karten, Compuserve
Ray Romano is good for smiles, no laughs.
Eric D. Snider, EricDSnider.com
It's hilarious, funnier than 'Everybody Loves Raymond' ever was.
Ed Gonzalez, Slant Magazine
A grim reminder that not everybody loves Raymond.

Documentary film about a one-week tour Ray Romano did in-between his show of Everybody Loves Raymond. It's kind of a pointless film since all we see if Ray Romano and a friend of his going from hotel to hotel around cities in Florida and other states in the South, making appearances and doing stand-up comedy. However, I could not help but laugh my heart out through the whole thing. Ray Romano is at times just as funny in real life as he is on TV.
