Summary
RATING: R for language
Starring Jon Cryer, Rick Stearn, Rafael Baez, and Ione Skye
Two lifelong friends hear a rumor that a childhood buddy with whom they've lost touch over the years, has been sighted, apparently insane, actually living out at the amusement park on Coney Island. Dubious at first, but looking for a reason to skip out on work, they decide that the only way to know for sure is to go and find him. (Phaedra Cinema)

Film Threat Merle Bertrand
Not only does this film have the coolest title ever, but this bittersweet, multi-layered comparison of life's realities versus life's potential is as compelling as it is deeply resonant.
Read Full Review >New York Post V.A. Musetto
A vast improvement over Schenkman's previous effort, "The Pompatus of Love."
Los Angeles Times Kevin Thomas
You find Went to Coney Island sticking with you long after it's over.
TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
Ambles to a surprisingly affecting conclusion, almost despite itself.
Read Full Review >Variety Emanuel Levy
Though intermittently engaging and decently acted, the movie suffers from a repetitive format, with too many shifts in time that prove disruptive.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Paul Malcolm
Consistently undermined by a script that swings between the duller side of quirky and facile sentiment.
