The star-studded comedy Sacramento<\/a> has landed a new streaming home in the UK. <\/p>\n

The movie follows two former best friends who reanimate their dwindling relationship on a road trip together.
<\/p>\n

Free-spirited Rickey suddenly visits his old pal Glenn and suggests a spontaneous adventure. Father-to-be Glenn reluctantly agrees to the trip and they embark on a chaotic journey from LA to Sacramento. <\/p>\n

The buddy comedy stars Arrested Development’s Michael Cera as Glenn, with Twilight’s Kristen Stewart playing his pregnant partner Rosie. Mr & Mrs Smith’s Maya Erskine stars as Tallie, while writer-director Michael Angarano plays Rickey. <\/p>\n

Sacramento was released in US cinemas earlier this year. As of yesterday, the movie is available to stream in the UK on Sky Cinema<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Following its initial debut at the Tribeca Film Festival, Sacramento landed a perfect score<\/a> on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>, which has since dropped to a respectable 84% from 62 reviews. <\/p>\n

Critics noted the balance between the comedic mishaps and emotional scenes, praising Cera and Angarano’s on-screen chemistry.<\/p>\n

“Sacramento is an examination of strained friendships, the fear of inadequacy in impending fatherhood, and the importance of mental health conversations are handled with a good balance of care and humour,” wrote Deadline<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“This heartwarming indie proves the 2000s dramedy has grown up,” said CBR<\/a>, while ScreenAnarchy<\/a> echoed: Sacramento is a quintessential indie film … Genuinely funny and genuinely, authentically human.”<\/p>\n

Pajiba<\/a> added: “Angarano and Cera share a truly gorgeous chemistry… if you feel any emotional connection to these actors going into it there’s a good chance this movie will, in its small way, smash you apart and put you back together again.”<\/p>\n

Sacramento is available to stream on Sky Cinema<\/a> in the UK.<\/p>\n
