4.0 out of 5 stars surprisingly endearing little comedy, January 16, 2011

Sort of a cross between "Adventureland" and "Napoleon Dynamite," "Splinterheads" is a tremendously appealing indie comedy about a spastic, perennially put-upon doofus named Justin (Thomas Middleditch) who falls victim to some unscrupulous carnies who come to town. One of them is a beautiful young con artist who goes by the stage name Galaxy (played by the radiant Rachael Taylor), who has a domineering boyfriend (the wonderful Dean Winters from "Rescue Me"), and who sees qualities in Justin that others, including the lad himself, cannot. (A "splinterhead," apparently, is a worker at a carnival who specializes in roping in easily spotted suckers from the crowd).

Middleditch hits all the right notes in making the bumbling, stuttering, well-meaning Justin a wholly likable and wholly relatable figure. Ditto for the rest of the cast, which includes Jason Rogel as his even dorkier best buddy, Wayne; Christopher McDonald as the town's petty and overzealous sheriff; Edmund Lyndeck as Justin's 116-year-old great-grandfather; Lea Thompson as his mom; and Jason Mantzaukas and Lennon Parham as a third-rate magician and his devoted assistant.

Writer/director Brant Sersen nicely captures the flavor of the rural, small town environment in which the film's set, and while he may make amusing caricatures out of his characters, he never feels the need to dehumanize or talk down to them - or to us, for that matter. The humor always remains sharp and observant, and the movie provides some pretty solid laughs throughout.

Check it out.

This was such a hilarious and light hearted movie. I don't think my husband and i spent more than a few minutes not laughing at this delightfully funny comedy. The actors were perfect and believable and the setting made it even funnier. Loved the geocaching parts as well it tied everything together nicely and taught me a little about something i didn't even know existed. This will have you laughing til the end. You may even be like my husband and use some of the funny lines and try to do some of the funny stunts that they did as well. Although this isn't recommended. :)
