6 sourcesSynopsis
When free-spirited Rickey suddenly reappears in father-to-be Glenn’s life, the two former best friends embark on a spontaneous road trip from LA to Sacramento.
Critics consensus
An amusingly perceptive comedy about the push and pull of friendship, Sacramento glows with charm even when its characters drive each other mad.
What resonated with audiences
'Sacramento' is a charming, innocent buddy film with strong directorial vision from Michael Angarano and thoughtful exploration of friendship and reconnection. The performances, particularly from Michael Cera, Kristen Stewart, and Maya Erskine, received praise for their natural portrayals. However, the film proved divisive, with some finding the writing poor, chemistry between leads unconvincing, and characters unrelatable. While many enjoyed its sweet, genuine quality, others were disappointed enough to stop watching, making it a polarizing viewing experience.
