Following the death of his father, energetic and free-spirited Rickey (Michael Angarano) convinces long-time friend Glenn (Michael Cera) to go on an impromptu road trip from Los Angeles to Sacramento. Frustrated by Rickey's Peter Pan complex, Glenn is encouraged by his pregnant wife Rosie (Kristen Stewart) to go on the adventure to reconnect. In the worn yellow seats of Glenn's old college convertible, the two men confront their anxiety-ridden lives, addressing past mistakes and questioning what their futures hold.

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.

“Sacramento” might not be about California’s capital per se, but it perfectly reflects the latent magic so many people have experienced in the city it’s named for, and the bonds people forge there.

Angarano has the showpiece role, but it’s Cera who proves himself, more than ever, to be a major actor.

The prickly comedy of male-pattern personality collapse gives way to wisdom, something that “Sacramento” has in abundance.

B-

Offbeat even when familiar, with enough quirks without being quirky, to just barely get over the line even as it struggles to reach 83 minutes.

Sacramento is a subtle, under-the-radar comedy gem.

3/5

Cera plays close to type... while Angarano flits between charming and infuriating as his manic, unpredictable travelling companion.

Exceptionally charming and paints a unique picture of what modern relationships can look like. It confronts complex subject matter tastefully and with heart. The performances were compelling and true.

Fun story, and being from Sacramento, it was great to see and recognize the locations. Not an award-winning movie by any stretch, but a nice way to spend 90 minutes.

This is a dry comedy about two friends that have different lives but get together to take a trip to Sacramento. There are emotional moments and a couple of cringe moments in this movie. id watch it again.
