"Tow" is a little unusual as it straddles the line between mainstream and indie moviemaking, but it delivers heart and significance with its unusual understanding of persistence.

Meant to charm adolescent viewers, and will likely do so with its juvenile ways. However, it could be a lot funnier and more creative, really spinning the central pizza-hunting premise in all the right ways.

Confusion tends to dominate the viewing experience, as viewers are offered a feature that doesn’t really know what it wants to be, but it has a defined purpose to spill as much fake blood as possible.
