Entertainment Weekly
Splinterheads, which aims to be a quirkier "Adventureland," never rises above mildly amusing.

Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times
Splinterheads gains traction from an eclectic cast that knows how to work a line.

Village Voice
Touching in its dorkiness.

Variety
Writer-director Brant Sersen's amiable indie comedy -- even less edgy than Greg Mottola's theme-park-set "Adventureland" -- attempts to compensate for its too-familiar romantic setup by defining its characters through idiosyncratic hobbies and traits.

Time Out
Equal parts Hollywood meet-cute and quirky coming-of-age tale.

Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle
Amiable and proficient, this indie romantic comedy is never more or less than reliable.

V.A. Musetto New York Post
Splinterheads might suffice some late night on cable, but that's about it.

Portland Oregonian
If you want genuine laughs and romance in a carnival setting, go rent "Adventureland."
