Despite the emphasis on Oedipal conflict, the film expresses no desire to enter the grownup world; happiness here is associated with eternal adolescence, following the '70s (and now, apparently, '90s) ideal.

A throwback to the independent-minded, anything-goes movies that followed in the wake of Easy Rider in the early 1970s.
John Hartl, Seattle Times
Rotten
Clearly, it wishes to be different, but anyone who fondly recalls the buddy films of the '70s will find it to be more of the same.
Desmond Ryan, Philadelphia Inquirer

The quirky-misfits-on-the-road genre is nothing new or revolutionary, but the film possesses a naive charm that is as refreshing as it is rare.
Nathan Rabin, AV Club
Rotten
As the film progresses, however, it begins to accumulate all sorts of unnecessary characters and subplots that only serve to weigh it down.
