Metacritic-Rezensionen

Not only does this film have the coolest title ever, but this bittersweet, multi-layered comparison of life's realities versus life's potential is as compelling as it is deeply resonant.

A vast improvement over Schenkman's previous effort, "The Pompatus of Love."

You find Went to Coney Island sticking with you long after it's over.

Ambles to a surprisingly affecting conclusion, almost despite itself.

Though intermittently engaging and decently acted, the movie suffers from a repetitive format, with too many shifts in time that prove disruptive.

Never quite comes to dramatic or comic life.

Consistently undermined by a script that swings between the duller side of quirky and facile sentiment.
