Reviews for Too Much Sleep
An esoteric, suburban valentine driven by deadpan humor and a certain dream logic... Too Much Sleep subverts expectations more than any movie I’ve seen all year.

Too Much Sleep seems more like a home movie made by your brother-in-law and his frat brothers than a real film.
03/28/01
Full of perfectly realized touches of reality, ones that provoke both laugh-out-loud guffaws and ironic snickers.
03/27/01
As a first offering from writer/director David Maquiling, the movie is solid indie fare.

As a story, Too Much Sleep could inspire a little snooze of its own. But in images - in shots of Jack walking the suburban wasteland, of lawn sprinklers and discarded backyard toys -- it is nearly saved.

Too Much Sleep is loaded with the same quirkiness one expects from an independent comedy, although it's not as self-consciously strange as most.

For all his baggy-pants vulgarity, Eddie gives Jack the energy he needs to find his own way. And Jack finding Jack is the nut of the tale.

Top Critic A modest, non-pushy little movie, one that resists hitting you over the head to get laughs.

Top Critic Though far less polished (and pricey) than the average studio movie, an independent film such as Too Much Sleep easily makes up in pith and becoming modesty what it lacks in flash.

Top Critic Rich and droll, and yet slight -- a film of modest virtues, content to be small, achieving what it intends.
