A law intern wants to impress his boss before his Bar Exam so he offers to help his daughter by moving her and her pet pig to the other end of the country. A lot of things happen in the meantime that will make the main character change his perception over life and discover true love along the way.A bad movie from the beginning to the end. A pointless and average plot that features a series of weird events that have no meaning whatsoever. Not to say that the end is as bad as the rest, the main character finally realizing out of nowhere that he loves the girl who's been escorting throughout the entire journey.Luckily it had few entertaining moments that made me laugh, otherwise it would have received a really bad rating.
... View MoreThis movie to me was a little offbeat. It wasn't what a normal person would write down as a comedy. The story wasn't original at all, leaving you at the video store for a long time deciding whether to bother with this one. The only hilarious character of the film is Jon Heder. For once he doesn't play a nerd like in Napoleon Dynamite or The Benchwarmers. Heder strikes in this one with the same strange persona, but he leads into a less nerdy character. Ben Gourley just plays the regular nerdy main star that turns out to be a huge deal in the end. Mila Kunis also stars as the niece of Gourley's boss. The whole thing is relatively strange and disgusting with the back pimple thing, but it has some slight humor to it. Check it out or don't check it out, either way it doesn't matter.5/10
... View MoreRutger Hower fans Don't BE FOOLED - he only plays a cameo in this movie and that's IT. This movie loses an extra point for that scam. I think Rutger Hower has a total of about 2 very short scenes and 2 very short voice-overs.The female lead for this film is way above this poor material in looks and talent-she's great, this movie is a dog and she's wasted on it. The story is of a Lawyer hoping for that partnership one day at the firm getting suckered into having to cart the Boss' niece across country. They have several encounters on the road with various oddballs and that is the vehicle for a variety of skits and the dude that played Napoleon Dynamite is thrown in the mix as a side character for good measure.This is a road-trip where extreme circumstances put our repressed hero to the test and he slowly winds up loosening up a little bit by the end of the movie, ah isn't love grand, yadda yadda..Only watch this film if you want to see a hot chick be annoying to a dork in a truck for an hour and half.
... View MoreBased on the low score at Rotten Tomatoes I expected very little from this film. Maybe it's a testament to the likability of its stars Mila Kunis and Ben Gourley, but I found myself smiling more than a few times during this road trip flick. The production value and cinematography are definitely a cut above.Sometimes I'm troubled that somewhat self-indulgent movies like this can attract such talented production crews when perhaps more important, but less trendy stories, never see the light of day. But still, I like escapist fare like this sometimes and it's hard to really put a value on art.If you're having a slow night, this will prove an entertaining diversion.
