Aspiring chef Danny (Callum Turner) is struggling to make ends meet, living with his mother and brother in a Polish neighborhood in Queens, New York. Ellie (Grace Van Patten) is a girl hardened beyond her years, who returns to New York at the request of a small-time hustler (Mike Birbiglia), with her eyes on an easy score. Danny gets a call one night to fill in for his brother on a job. It all seems simple enough: meet a driver (Ellie) with a briefcase, proceed to a rendez-vous spot and exchange one briefcase for another. But when Danny accidentally swaps the wrong bag, this pair of unlikely criminals is thrown together on a two-day odyssey to get the missing briefcase back. They travel through the boroughs and suburbs of New York City by train, bus and stolen bicycle - they break into a house - they tell half-truths about who they are - and they find themselves, in the midst of this chase, beginning to be slowly drawn to one another.

- Adventurous love story resulting from building trust and empathy for each other to escape their personal bad life situations.Reply
- If Spenser Tracey and Katherine Hepburn made a rom com today this would be it. Characters are totally engaging and story is very cute. Loved it.Reply
- A cast of young, soon the be stars, that could have benefited from a slightly better script.Reply
-
- Far from greatness but good enough to watch. At 83 minutes it's painless and the two leads are likeable.Reply
- Tramps does not have an intricate plot, stunning cinematography, or brilliant acting, but what it does have is a freshness and vibe that will leave you smiling!Reply
- A small-scale work that owes its charm to the freshness, relaxed intimacy and unforced humor of its character interplay, and to the warm feel for the environments through which they move.Reply
- 3 1/2 Stars. There's some old school sensibilities in the directing here in the vein of French New Wave and 90's American indie that seems very appealing to me. For the most part the film mainly works due to the naturalistic, somewhat awkward, acting from it's two leads. The plot device of the film is intriguing at first but ends quite dull, unfortunately. Mike Birbigs is possibly the most miscasted actor I've seen in a film this century. I think it's a joke, but you wouldn't know from how serious his character is. The dialogue is at times atrocious, but not entirely bad. The main actress of this film, Grace Van Patten, is definitely going places if she keeps up this solid work. Can't wait to see her read some good dialogue next in the new Baumbach film.Reply
- With a laid-back, '70s soul, Tramps is the rare doe-eyed relationship movie where playing third-wheel is a joy.Reply
- Cynicism is a common disposition for the generational crop of filmmakers Leon belongs to, and it's refreshing-invigorating even-to watch skilled directors reject acrimony and jaded pretension for bona fide, unabashed sincerity.Reply
- Tramps is overall a winning film, proving once again that some of the best romantic comedies can be light on plot: all we need is an excuse for beautiful people to fall in love.Reply

- There's a sense of generosity flowing through Adam Leon's films that reminds me of the best Jonathan Demme movies. The kindness is restorative.Reply

- Carefully doling out information... Leon maintains a buoyant energy that's given even more bounce by the film's lively score and soundtrackReply
