Watched this movie late last night. Shoulder pain keeping me awake. I have a soft spot for Road Trip movies and thought I’d give this one a try. I wasn’t sure if I could put up with Jason Mantzoukas for an entire movie, not because I don’t like him, but he is just so much.

This movie had potential and it almost turned out to be a good movie. All that I thought was missing was a little more back story in the main characters and better running time management. By that I mean, the movie goes on and on and then abruptly ends.

I like how they took the mundane situations in everyday life and included them in the story. The best example is when Jason visits his high school sweetheart in New Mexico and the Art School kid hangs out with her daughter in her room. This is something that would have totally happened when I was growing up. The scene didn’t have to have anything more to it to make it great.

Jason’s character almost turns out to be a human being in the end with his line, “You’re in a stolen car and you just assaulted someone.” A good dose of reality but too little too late.
