Leave your thoughts about Folk Hero & Funny Guy.
| Spliced PersonalitySean BurnsA solid debut made with warmth and a cozy charm. |
| Hollywood ReporterJohn DeForeThe kind of road movie that relies less on incident than on the chemistry between the guys in the car. |
| AV ClubJesse Hassenger... Jeff Grace's Folk Hero & Funny Guy doesn't feel like a warmed-over Apatow production, in part because it has the courage to let the "funny guy" half of its duo be kind of a mediocrity in his field. |
| The Film StageDan MeccaFolk Hero & Funny Guy rises above cliché thanks to a sure-handed, thought-out script, and memorable performances. |
| indieWireKate ErblandRussell and Karpovsky are a winning pair, and if they ever want to hit the road for more big jokes and even bigger revelations, any director would do well to let them take the wheel. |
| Film Journal InternationalFrank LoveceSlight but sweet, actor Jeff Grace's first feature as writer-director shows a confident hand and a distinctive voice that [...] avoids easy answers or simplistic resolutions. |
| Common Sense MediaJeffrey M. AndersonWritten and directed by Jeff Grace, this laid-back, bittersweet comedy at first seems a little formulaic, but as it goes along, it relies less on silly situations than on interesting characters. |
| Moveable FestStephen SaitoIt never feels less than honest, which for being as entertaining as it is, is no small feat. |
| FanboyNation.comSean MulvihillEven as it's falling flat dramatically or comically, at least he was dead on with his impeccable casting that really goes a long way in making the film consistently tolerable in its most uninspired moments. |
| The SkinnyMichelle DevereauxThere are a few genuinely funny moments, but ultimately Folk Hero... is too bland to leave much of an impression. |
