Critic Reviews

Sheri Linden

As a depiction of youthful resilience, the film works, but Max's trials and tribulations might have had more dramatic impact with a trained actor in the role. Read full review

Rob Nelson

Slight but winning and often funny, the scrappy Amerindie Wah Do Dem is a fish-out-of-water comedy driven by Sean "Bones" Sullivan's offbeat performance. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Musician Bones is believable as the luckless tourist in lime-green shades, and the musical soundtrack, including songs by Bones, is infectious. Read full review

Boxoffice Magazine Steve Ramos

Sullivan's easygoing performance as a Brooklyn musician dumped by his girlfriend prior to a planned Jamaican cruise together syncs perfectly with writers/directors Ben Chace and Sam Fleischner's dreamlike storytelling. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

Though the mumblecore esthetic is familiar and the movie's ultimate impact slight, the filmmakers do find a fresh and modestly amusing twist by tossing their hipster out of his natural habitat. Read full review

Aaron Hillis

Methinks we're meant to actually feel sorry for this overprivileged twerp in neon sunglasses. Read full review

David Fear

Wah Do Dem simply mopes along before aimlessly stumbling to a halt. Read full review
