An esoteric, suburban valentine driven by deadpan humor and a certain dream logic... Too Much Sleep subverts expectations more than any movie I've seen all year.

| Original Score: A- | Sep 12, 2002

A darkly funny tour of deepest, strangest New Jersey.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 26, 2002

Overtired.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 16, 2001

The film moves from mere dreamlessness to its own weird magic.

| Apr 10, 2001

Too Much Sleep traffics in deadpan whimsy, always a risky business.

| Mar 29, 2001

Too Much Sleep seems more like a home movie made by your brother-in-law and his frat brothers than a real film.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 28, 2001

Full of perfectly realized touches of reality, ones that provoke both laugh-out-loud guffaws and ironic snickers.

| Mar 27, 2001

As a first offering from writer/director David Maquiling, the movie is solid indie fare.

| Mar 27, 2001

As a story, Too Much Sleep could inspire a little snooze of its own. But in images - in shots of Jack walking the suburban wasteland, of lawn sprinklers and discarded backyard toys -- it is nearly saved.

Full Review | Mar 23, 2001

Too Much Sleep is loaded with the same quirkiness one expects from an independent comedy, although it's not as self-consciously strange as most.

For all his baggy-pants vulgarity, Eddie gives Jack the energy he needs to find his own way. And Jack finding Jack is the nut of the tale.

| Mar 23, 2001

A modest, non-pushy little movie, one that resists hitting you over the head to get laughs.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 23, 2001

Darn near put me to sleep.

| Mar 23, 2001

Not a total snoozer, Sleep's still far from dreamy.

| Mar 23, 2001

Though far less polished (and pricey) than the average studio movie, an independent film such as Too Much Sleep easily makes up in pith and becoming modesty what it lacks in flash.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 23, 2001

A wickedly smart indie film.

| Mar 23, 2001

More of an interesting curio than a full-fledged film.

Full Review | Mar 23, 2001

Rich and droll, and yet slight -- a film of modest virtues, content to be small, achieving what it intends.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 23, 2001

A sleeper with promise.

Fatiguingly mundane snoozer.
