Taissa Farmiga and Grace Gummer make particularly welcome appearances here.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 14, 2020

It has few ambitions other than to entertain, and on that front, it largely succeeds.

| Original Score: B- | Jun 30, 2020

Like the characters in virtually all road-trip movies, this mismatched pair stumbles into a series of chance encounters and misadventures.

| Original Score: 2.75/5 | Jul 16, 2019

Fidell and co-writer Carson Mell accomplished a feat rarely seen, a believable wacky comedy. Relatable to a multi-generational audience, the movie has a takeaway for everyone.

| Mar 20, 2019

Isn't poetic or overtly artful, but it does supply colorful characters and laughs.

| Original Score: B | Nov 21, 2018

Neither long nor dumb, Hannah Fidell's "The Long Dumb Road" is in reality a terrifically entertaining odd couple road comedy expertly navigated by costars Tony Revolori and Jason Mantzoukas.

| Nov 15, 2018

A case of realism gone wrong, leading to a complete absence of any incentive whatsoever to care about either of the main characters, let alone get invested in the toxicity of their lives and friendship, thus destroying any real enjoyment.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Nov 13, 2018

The Long Dumb Road's Richard and Nat could give Planes, Trains, and Automobiles' Neal and Del a run for their money.

| Nov 11, 2018

Mantzoukas brilliantly juggles all the different forces of Richard's personality so that we never quite know what to make of this guy, which in turn means that we never quite know what will happen next with him and Nat.

| Nov 9, 2018

Swearing, drinking, pot in offbeat buddy road comedy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 9, 2018

... charts a well-traveled path of road-trip and buddy-comedy clichés.

| Nov 9, 2018

Falls prey to predictability. But what the film lacks in surprises, it makes up for with fresh jokes, engaging narrative, and solid performances...

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 9, 2018

The film is built on the chemistry of Revolori and Mantzoukas.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 9, 2018

Overall, the film is charming and funny, even when it sticks to some well-traveled routes.

| Nov 8, 2018

The leads' chemistry nearly redeems this shopworn setup, and the movie is at its best when it simply chills out with them.

| Nov 8, 2018

The Long Dumb Road is one of the year's better comedies, with Mantzoukas an absolute showstopper.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Nov 8, 2018

Director and co-writer Hannah Fidell's film never finds the right mix of meaningful parable and sophomoric romp.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 4, 2018

Not only does a compatible odd couple form between Nathan and Richard, but Fidell and Mell create characters made interesting by their inherent contradictions.

| Oct 19, 2018

[Jason] Mantzoukas plays to his strengths as a wild card who is as endearing as he is unhinged.

| Jun 8, 2018

Mantzoukas and Revolori are ideally cast, bouncing off each other with a salty-sweet chemistry that's as natural as it is entertaining.
