Inner child? Open road? No, this film is actually about Mr. O'Nan and his wan, scruffy innocence.
Andy Webster, New York Times, 09.20.2012 -
An indie about-tell me if this sounds familiar-a brokenhearted sad sack who travels cross-country with a weirdo and a too-hot-for-these-dorks woman on a road trip of healing and self-actualization.
Nick Schager, Village Voice, 09.18.2012 -
Initially, this low-budget film writes a lot of checks on the First National Bank of Whimsy, but I was astonished when none of them bounced.

O' Nan needs to retool and get some new material.
