Backseat Reviews
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
The flailing, protagonists of Backseat, while not exactly 40-year-old virgins, can have avoided that fate only by the tender mercies of women with low expectations.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer
Sean Axmaker
Backseat satisfies itself with small observations and minor breakthroughs of self-awareness.
Seattle Times
Tom Keogh
Once in a while, a movie inspires nothing more than complete apathy. Backseat is such a lackluster work.
Boxoffice Magazine
Chad Greene
To be sure, slapstick misadventures ensue, but there's a sweetness and vulnerability beneath the surface of the boys' sometimes-blue bantering.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Sporadically funny, micro-budgeted indie comedy.
AV Club
Noel Murray
Anyone who's spent a lot of time at independent-film festivals will feel a familiar sinking feeling within the first 10 minutes of Backseat.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
Alexander's script considers context anathema, leaving us to wonder, among other puzzlers, why these two jerks are friends to begin with - and, perhaps, on what bad breakup or neglected childhood one may blame the film's dispiriting misanthropy.
TV Guide
Maitland McDonagh
Just a series of character skits, some charming and others tedious.
Hollywood Reporter
Frank Scheck
A road movie that runs out of gas almost immediately after it gets started, Backseat is the sort of quirky indie feature that impresses at festivals but feels wan when experienced under real cinematic conditions.
Variety
Ronnie Scheib
Culturally falling somewhere between Sideways and Dumb and Dumber, this low-rent road movie similarly rides on principles of audience identification, largely minus competent helming, thesping or scripting.
Village Voice
Jim Ridley
Bruce Van Dusen's 2005 comedy plots a meandering course due north without locating a word of truth.
