A group of teens hit the road in a stolen driver's ed car, racing against time to help a lovesick high school senior (Sam Nivola) track down his college-freshman girlfriend and win her back. In 24 chaotic hours, they're chased by school security and the cops, shot at by small-time crooks, and somehow adopt a three-legged cat.

Everyone in the cast is up to the task here. Now if only they could have been handed a set of keys to a smoother ride geared to show off their talents. Go to Full Review Richard Lawson IndieWire 2d

There are a few laughs to be found in the film, little moments of wit or weirdness, but the film is otherwise a mirthless drag rescued only by its bright leads. Maybe let them make the movie next time. Go to Full Review Todd Jorgenson Cinemalogue 4h
