‘Sacramento’: This Road-Trip Movie Will Drive You Crazy

I appreciate anyone trying to be a writing-acting-directing-producing Hollywood quadruple-threat, but Angarano should probably just focus on acting for a while.

“Sacramento” has an inviting poster—any movie with Kristen Stewart, I’m going to want to see. Even though Stewart’s uglified herself somewhat for this freshman effort by screenwriter-director-actor Michael Angarano (who also cast his wife, father, and baby in the film), her presence wasn’t enough for me to not thoroughly rue this 90 minutes I’ll never get back.
