Arizona RepublicHenry MolskiJul 24, 2014
The road-trip comedy is well-traveled territory, especially in indie films. But there's something unexpectedly refreshing about Land Ho! Read full review

While Land Ho! feels like a direct extension of its characters, with sedate compositions that are a far cry from the youthful opportunism steering the camera in Katz’s previous films, the uncharacteristic transparency of its agenda clashes with the joy of discovery its story craves.
