A road movie about two different people forced to travel together, done before but a nice twist on it. Unfortunately it didn't work for me.
The problem is that this film is shot fairly sincerely with a degree of realism. I think the concept is best suited for a glitzy shallow comedy. With the likes of 'Road Trip' etc. the characters are two dimensional enough to bounce back from whatever is thrown at them, here funny moments are soured by the realisation that the characters are hurting.
To progress the plot a certain amount of zany events need to take place, again in a trashy comedy you can get away with throwing all kinds of bizarre obstacles at the characters. Here I found myself questioning the antics unfolding.
Where the likes of 'Planes Trains Autombiles' is light hearted with moments of tenderness this got a little depressing.
The production is great the acting is top notch, but by the end I was bored.
