A film that runs out of gas while attempting to be minimally interesting. [Full review in Spanish]

Small Time is an appropriate title for this period piece dramedy, the type of film whose meandering tone and lack of stakes inform savvy viewers of the fact that it's 'inspired by true events' even without benefit of a credits title card.

April 17, 2014
"Small Time" is agreeably sentimental meat-and-potatoes fare with strong dashes of humor, executed with a sincerity that's hard to resist.

Coming-of-age drama delivers some laughs, but loses its way when things gets serious
