Fun, funny, touching and beautiful

This is a great movie - "road trip/buddy/docu/dramedy" is a great description because not one category can define it and it has the best elements of all the genres. It has a great hook and a great set-up and then you're along for the ride, on what might as well be a buddy narrative dramedy, but it just happens to be true, which makes it way more moving and way more hilarious! The fact that Dave and Charlie are so accessible and honest and fun, and that the people they meet along the way are so helpful and kind and open, really leaves a sense of nostalgia in your mind for a few days after watching it, of a better time when people took care of their neighbors. And the fact that Charlie - while definitely worthless in terms of car repair - is oh so devilishly good-looking - it's worth a watch just for him alone.
