Criticism

" A carried by a pleasant dreamy mood tragicomedy with many dramatic open spaces, the atmosphere accompanied by accidents, quarrels and reconciliations " accompanied development journey " of disoriented Losers. The " roving " dramaturgy suffers significantly below trying to tell, for the masses. "

"Anyone who has a heart for lovable losers will experience here a small, beautiful film, with alternating funny and insightful moments. Maybe a little too headstrong to reach a mass audience, scores the tragicomedy with good actors and characters that go a close. And the one may cause to hold back even looking for signs. "

"Jeff, who still lives at home is all what makes an indie comedy nowadays simply unbearable. [ ... ] A completely trivial, unlustiger film with uninteresting characters who wishes to appear clever and witty, but it reaches exactly the opposite. "
