At a Hallmark-movie level, I thought this would be a fairly entertaining, if somewhat predictable, road picture as two antagonizing characters slowly fall in love with each other while driving across the country to their destination - a friends wedding halfway across the country.
The only problem is they hardly spend any time in the car at all. First of all, the film wavers between our couple and a distracting bachelor party/wedding rehearsal taking place hundreds of miles away. But worse, just a few minutes into the trip, their car is disabled and they spend almost half of the film stranded in some strange small town where all sorts of festivities are taking place and meeting far too many oddball characters.
The lead actors are likeable enough I guess, but there are too many distracting and annoying supporting characters. If the film would have just focused on those two and all their misadventures while driving, then they may have just pulled off a decent road trip picture. But we get almost none of that. Just a lot of tiresome caricatures, predictable dialogue, and preposterous scenarios all around.
