I have always been fascinated by Trona since the first time I drove through it some 15 years ago, reminds me of a full scale model railroad town and it looks like perhaps no other place in California...Trona has a bit... Full review
Modest, formulaic, but nice.

I_saw_it_happen - imdb.com
This is a quite enjoyable movie, well-made and pretty much an atmosphere piece, which is extremely formulaic (you'll know everything that's going to happen more than half-way through), but actually succeeds at being the sort of 'heart-warming' stuff that so many... Full review

Saw this movie on the plane. By the end, I was praying that we would crash. I have to say that it was among the worst movies that I have ever seen!! I kept watching only because I thought there might... Full review

This movie doesn't deserve any awards but it doesn't deserve to be slated either. It made me laugh and I really enjoyed it. The premise of the story is quite simple, likable Ray is stuck in a dead-end job, in... Full review
Light hearted insight into life.

This movie is set in the most hopeless part of American society. Where everyone has a hopeless, pathetic job or no job at all and spend their free time in an equally hopeless and neglecting manner. It's just over the... Full review
Reminded me of Juno ......ALASKA!

stevepat99 - imdb.com
I'm certain other references to Juno likewise referred to Alaska, a place that abounds with cold, desolate areas devoid of humans and hence devoid of intelligent life. Similar in fact to the town of Trona. IMDb's plot sets the pace... Full review
Subtly-nuanced, beautifully acted, quirky

froglover25 - imdb.com
Just Add Water is a moving, quirky, subtly-nuanced fable about suffering, love and redemption. Set in the belly of a culture that's been spiritually and environmentally devastated, enough becomes more than enough, and a small group of determined people decide... Full review

That's not to say the film is entirely without charm, though it struggles to find itself for the first 45 minutes. The Upside: Tracy Middendorf is endearing and wonderful to watch. Their scenes together are easily the best in the film. ... Full Review

Variety
Bochner is far too interested in creating an absurdist milieu than in doing what he does really well, which is construct touching moments between adults -- or near-adults. The actor-cum-helmer's very dark comedy is set in a landscape as parched for human kindness as it is for H2O, and burdened with more symbolism than a Joseph Campbell TV special. ... Full Review

An official selection of this year's Slamdance Film Festival, "Just Add Water" is an off-beat indie comedy which deserves viewing. ... Full Review

popsyndicate.com
Just Add Water is an inconsistent, misguided attempt at what other films have already done. Despite the slim warmth brought on by Walsh and Middendorf, Just Add Water amounts to nothing beyond what its surface bares. ... Full Review
