🚗 Sacramento – A Road Trip of Heart, Humor, and Midlife Revelations
In Theaters April 11, 2025 | Starring Michael Cera, Michael Angarano, Kristen Stewart, & Maya Erskine
What happens when the guy who never wants to grow up crashes headfirst into the life of someone who already has? Welcome to Sacramento — a quirky, heartfelt road comedy about friendship, self-discovery, and the wild ride in between.
Directed by Michael Angarano, who also stars alongside Michael Cera, this indie gem is set to hit U.S. theaters on April 11, 2025, and it’s already earned buzz from its premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival. Distributed by Vertical, Sacramento is that perfect blend of offbeat charm and emotional depth you didn’t know you needed.
🌴 Plot: From LA to Sacramento... and Everything In Between
Meet Rickey (Michael Angarano), who is free-spirited, unpredictable, and proudly clinging to his Peter Pan complex. When life gets too real, Rickey does what he knows best: run away from it... but this time, with company.
Enter Glenn (Michael Cera), Rickey’s longtime friend, who’s deep in the groove of domestic bliss — think stability, routine, and a peaceful life with his partner, Tallie (Maya Erskine). But when Rickey convinces Glenn to take a spontaneous road trip from Los Angeles to Sacramento, their journey becomes more than just miles on the odometer.
From absurd pit stops to quiet confessions, Sacramento explores what it means to grow up — or not — and how friendship evolves as life keeps moving forward.
🎭 The Cast: A Perfect Pairing of Comedy and Soul
Michael Angarano as Rickey – the chaotic soul who fears commitment but craves connection.
Michael Cera as Glenn – the reluctant adventurer torn between comfort and curiosity.
Kristen Stewart as Rosie – adding subtle tension and complexity to the emotional landscape.
Maya Erskine as Tallie – Glenn’s grounded, loving partner with questions to answer.
AJ Mendez, Iman Karram, and Rosalind Chao round out the ensemble with fresh energy and compelling moments.

🛣️ Why Sacramento Deserves a Spot on Your Watchlist
If you’re a fan of indie road trip classics like Little Miss Sunshine, The Fundamentals of Caring, or Sideways, then Sacramento will feel like a warm, messy hug from an old friend.
It’s not just a buddy comedy — it’s a story about the quiet ways people drift apart and the beautiful ways they find their way back. With authentic performances, crisp writing, and a soul-searching trip through California’s heartland, Sacramento offers a refreshing take on modern masculinity, aging, and the messy art of being human.
