Sacramento Reviews

May 20, 2025

'Sacramento' is a likeable comedy drama that satisfyingly explores both the slight and charming aspects of friendship.

This was a fun watch. Nice to see Michael Cera in something.

Fun story, and being from Sacramento, it was great to see and recognize the locations. Not an award-winning movie by any stretch, but a nice way to spend 90 minutes.

Interesting. I guess.

I just got back from it and I so wanted to like this movie. I really like California and I enjoy the Sacramento area. The premise was correct but the two leading characters were so unlikable. There is no realism in having someone not tell one of their best friends that their wife is pregnant. Even the minor characters were irritating. I wanted to like one character in the movie. It was a very tough watch.

It’s not as good as it thinks it is. A nice concept, but it never goes deep enough to draw you in. And the plot lines feel forced.

Sacramento is a deceptively simple road movie that digs deep into the fractured psyches of two men at a crossroads. Blending bittersweet comedy with psychological drama, the film captures the tension between arrested development and looming adulthood. Sharp dialogue, clever use of therapy-speak, and a reflective visual style elevate the familiar structure, even if the final act feels somewhat rushed. Michael Cera delivers one of his most layered performances, balancing vulnerability with restrained rage. While not flawless, Sacramento offers a poignant, honest look at friendship, failure, and the elusive desire for change.

Being from Sacramento, I love how they picked some iconic spots to shoot to show the beauty there. I’m just sad I was stuck at work during shooting instead of being part of the fun. Loved the acting, writing and the comedy. A great film, adding it to one of my favorites.

Classic Cera humor. The story was meh. Good watch. Wouldn't be on my rewatch list tho.

The plot and character acting was sub-par. The views of Sacramento did not include things like the Tower Theater and the wall paintings including the on of John Wayne. It seems like an afterthought to try to get interest in a home made movie. The cinematography was shaky and out of focus at times. We went because of the local advertising.

as we go from children to adults that eventually have our own children, sometimes we don't seem to have it "all together" like everyone else seems to. this movie shows us how we may not all grow at the same pace, but we all grow eventually. I liked it.

Too many plot holes, too much angst.

Holy smokes I thought the movie was 3 hours long!!!! The movie dragged on through boring writing and pornography quality acting. Kristen Stewart and Michael Sara do not have the emotional capacity to play these roles accurately and the other one’s voice sounded like nails on a chalkboard. Real Pain is what Sacramento wanted to be and 30 minutes in it failed.

Like an LA Native’s idea of what Sacramento looks like. Has some funny script moments but the two leads are just unlikable characters and the plot completely nosedives in the third act becoming completely detached from reality. It’s impossible to believe these characters act the way they do except for that they’re in a movie. If you like Michael Cera’s shtick it certainly helps but he’s just playing the same character as always and Kristen Stewart just doesn’t care and it shows. A pretty tone deaf display of men in deep committed relationships yet suffering from crippling learned helplessness.

Funny and heartfelt movie about relatable anxieties of life. Also Sactown represent!

I LOVE quirky movies but this one was only painfully awkward (which is fine and sometimes great) but I feel that it needs to be in between legit funny and/or sentimental moments. With 92% of it being painful to watch it just left us wishing we picked a different movie. If you still want to watch it DON'T watch the trailer it has ALL of the funny parts in it.

This movie made Sacramento look like were a bunch of hillbillies. The storyline was pointless and not funny at all, almost all the dialogue was drawn out, awkward and cringe. I hated this movie. Dont waste your time and money!

It's like an outsider from the East Coast made a movie about a town they had no connection with. Sacramento is too prized to be called a movie with no pizazz. I gave it 67 rotten tomatoes. Hollywood should've given this to GRETA!

As a lover of the Sacramento city & entire area, greatly disappointed that this movie has NOT MUCH about it. And having driven many many times from Southern California to Sacramento and back, I was hoping for much about that, but again not much. So, because the very title is misleading, we must sadly give this a 1 1/2 RT stars, 'can't recommend it'

Sacramento is to LA, as this movie is to "A Real Pain", inferior in everyway.
