New York Post V.A. Musetto

Perfectly captures the cultural and emotional wasteland that is suburban Jersey.

Entertainment Weekly Ty Burr

Maquiling has built and sustained a mood of lovely comic aplomb. Like one of its hero's daydreams, the film evaporates on contact and leaves a serene glow.

Washington Post Stephen Hunter

It's nothing less than a spiritual journey set in New Jersey.

Village Voice Amy Taubin

An understated gem.

Film.com Tom Keogh

An unusually clear, compassionate, and grownup satire about a rare subject: the true psychological underpinnings of young manhood.

Washington Post Desson Thomson

The movie's a gas. Very funny, to a rather dark degree.

Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker

Oddly fresh and naively chipper.

San Francisco Chronicle Wesley Morris

The movie is as modestly unpretentious as David O. Russell's "Spanking the Monkey."

75

Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert

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

70

LA Weekly Paul Malcolm

Maquiling offers us the unexpected pleasures of taking the side streets in a film about how even minor-key adventures can make a life stuck in low gear something to look back on.

70

Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas

Unfolds as a shaggy-dog story, full of hilarious and outrageous twists that suggest that weirdness lies just below the surface of daily life seemingly at its most ordinary.

Dallas Observer Bill Gallo

Jack's odyssey, despite some clunky writing and predictable first-movie missteps, gives off a flavor and a flair that stick with you.

The New York Times Dave Kehr

Maquiling creates an unusual and intriguing tone somewhere between sharp, deadpan comedy and a soft, dreamy surrealism.

63

Chicago Tribune Michael Wilmington

No revelation, but it’s a more honorable, interesting effort than many of the crass, dopey recent big-studio schlockfests like "Say It Isn’t So" or "Tomcats" that tell similar coming-of-age tales.

Philadelphia Inquirer Desmond Ryan

A picture that's pleasantly forgettable.

Boston Globe Jay Carr

There are moments when faltering levels of energy and inventiveness threaten to turn Too Much Sleep into a nonevent. But it signals the arrival of a promising filmmaker and is worth sticking with.

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman

The film's slightly awkward self-consciousness is balanced by an appealing, gently deadpan performance from Palmieri.

Mr. Showbiz Larry Terenzi

For a modest film, however, Too Much Sleep is a modest surprise.

TV Guide Ken Fox

Clever and offbeat.

Wall Street Journal Joe Morgenstern

Mr. Maquiling's gotta learn more about dramatic arcs, but he has an infectious interest in how the world looks and works, and he can make you laugh unexpectedly. I look forward to his next film.

Baltimore Sun Michael Sragow

So minimalist that you wouldn't miss much if you watched semi-awake and listened to a friend's running commentary.

50

Christian Science Monitor David Sterritt

The movie's concept is amusing, but much of the acting and dialogue is as uninspired as the story's deliberately bland suburban setting.

Variety Emanuel Levy

The material is slender, the characters not sufficiently engaging or eccentric for a feature-length movie.
