Entertainment Weekly

Splinterheads, which aims to be a quirkier "Adventureland," never rises above mildly amusing.

FULL REVIEW

The New York Times

Splinterheads gains traction from an eclectic cast that knows how to work a line.

By Jeannette Catsoulis FULL REVIEW

Variety

Writer-director Brant Sersen's amiable indie comedy -- even less edgy than Greg Mottola's theme-park-set "Adventureland" -- attempts to compensate for its too-familiar romantic setup by defining its characters through idiosyncratic hobbies and traits.

FULL REVIEW

Austin Chronicle

Amiable and proficient, this indie romantic comedy is never more or less than reliable.

By Marjorie Baumgarten FULL REVIEW

Time Out

Equal parts Hollywood meet-cute and quirky coming-of-age tale.

FULL REVIEW

New York Post

Splinterheads might suffice some late night on cable, but that's about it.

By V.A. Musetto FULL REVIEW

Portland Oregonian

If you want genuine laughs and romance in a carnival setting, go rent "Adventureland."
