Critic Reviews

  • Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

    Shulman, though, who also produced, is a personality drag, unable to make us care that Sherman's off-putting arrogance warrants even by-the-numbers enlightenment.

  • Lou Lumenick, New York Post

    LeGros isn't bad, but this pre-DVD road trip feels like it's four hours long.

  • Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News

    Note to indie filmmakers: a life-changing road trip, some quirky characters, and a cutesy soundtrack do not a movie make. Or, at least, not one that's worthy of an audience's hard-earned cash.

  • Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times

    Like an annoying new puppy, Sherman's Way just wants to run around in circles and lick your face. After a while, though, you kind of fall in love with it.

  • Mark Holcomb, Time Out New York

    A victim of its own bad timing, Craig M. Saavedra's buddy-comedy-cum-road-trip-flick might've had a chance back before the world started going to hell.
