Not everyone likes this genre, but those who liked Bahgdad Cafe, Six-string Samarai, the Singing Detective, and other cult-following favorites, will like 29 Palms.
The talent in this movie is a strong cast of non-superstars you'll immediately recognize and they all do a great job -- many of them stepping into unusual character types compared to their usual Hollywood roles. My hat is off to them for (1) their performances and (2) stepping up and wanting to do this film. I love this genre and scour the variety pages looking for something up this alley.
If you don't care for the quirky, existential-type, low-budget, rights of passage stories, you may want to pass (see the negative reviews, for instance). As for me, it is just my cup of tea, and I'd like a refill please!
