The average rating for this movie causes me to reassess how I use IMDb, as generally I've found ratings to be reliable before and in this case am finding that average upset. This is a great movie. I don't usually go for "road trip" movies in the modern sense - this has a touch of that (wacky adventures on the road) but there's no slapstick crap, or incredible fantastical tripping - just a lovely sort of bumbling along that takes the path as it comes.
Colin is brilliant. Sandra and Jeff as "Mark and Cleopatra" are too awful, Jeff's character lurching into the ridiculous, Sandra becoming harder but less brittle. All the characters have wonderful embellishment, peculiarity and I guess whimsy, though it's sometimes charm. That is, the charming characters are exceptionally charming - but there are some serious stinkers done very well. If you like that sort of thing!
