Must see. Don't listen to bad reviews. 2 guys stuck in the dresser. They truck broke down. Do they get out or do the not. Great movie. Great great great great great movie!!!! I think the acting was great. The story is one I haven't seen and is 10 stars. Definitely not a waste of time here. I don't know what else to write. All I can say is great awesome great awesome great awesome great an awesome movie. I watched in twice in a short period of time.

Scenic route: What happen when some one told u about things u would not prefer to know about you, u might panic when people talk to you about those moments. This movie is all about friends and family when i said friends it's about best friends who know everything about you (all stuffs u really not want to discuss or i can say u keep hiding from Ur self ) you know Ur best friends knows every thing happening or happened in Ur life and when someday they discussed that here started the big fights . This movie is all about that 2 best buddies in 30's went for a scenic route start talking then arguments about how other person changed with time ...then reality check for each other ...they start telling each other things which individual not wanna know and it turns in to fight and most imp they were stuck in a desert . Well written and nicely directed.The acting, dialog, and desert scenery combine to make this an awesome movie. Josh Duhamel simply superb Acting as he delivered his role as Mitchell perfectly and Dan Fogler is also superb . What i like most about this movie was dialogs (simple conversations turned in to argument and then fights and then again simple conversation) Well things happen in beat friends and then they become normal and that's all about this movie was . Few scenes are amazing and nicely act by both actors ...well i liked the movie and this movie is diff from other movies if we talks about Ending The way they start arguing and then fight ,then it become serious and blood shed then they realize what they did was wrong and then apology.

Sometimes I love independent films, especially about disaster/breakdown scenarios. Scenic Route is just that and though a tad far-fetched, it might actually happen this way.And…I did like it, despite my doubts.Josh Duhamel, whom I will always cherish from the TV series Las Vegas over the horrible Transformers "Go-bots" films, did okay here and was definitely over-shined by his costar/buddy, Dan Fogler.Allow me to back up. Two lifelong, albeit drifting apart, friends plan a road trip that inadvertently gets them stuck in the plains. The dominate one, Fogler's Carter, ignores passerbyers' help in lieu of conversation with his life mate, Mitchell (Duhamel.)Eventually, the heat of the day, cool of the night and the delirium of the situation gets the two boys down. How would you get out of the desert once your car breaks down and there are few passengers on the lonely and isolated "short cut" of road you choose?At less than an hour and a half, with little new to bring to the table, you could do worse. But, I believe these two guys brought their heart and soul to these roles and absolutely showed what would happen if a desperate friend needed his life-partner this bad.Interested in how I described this? Absolutely see this. 82 minutes – seriously, what else were you planning for tonight?* * * Final thoughts: THE ENDING. Like a lot of independent "SHOCKING" endings, I loved this one. Where these two end up is surprising, and it does make you relish in the film you have seen. I did like the movie up to the ending, and I believe this sealed the deal.

The film is basically an hour of two friends needlessly bashing each other physically and psychologically to the point where you are ready to leave the theater - which is what I did. I thought the film was terrible, but at the behest of a friend, I rented the DVD. I scrubbed through 90% of the film to the end where I was pleasantly surprised by a great plot twist that was well executed.So my rating goes from a minus something to a reluctant five for a cool ending of a first effort. To those thinking of renting the DVD though - watching is still torture unless you chop the second act. If you do watch this film the repetitive bashing starts twenty minutes in so whenever you tire of this you can save your sanity by skipping to the start of the plot twist at an hour and fifteen minutes for a reasonably entertaining half hour short.FLASH TO FILMMAKERS - No one but your parents and friends will pay $20 to see a feature film that takes an hour and fifteen minutes to engage its audience. The static script might have worked as an off-Broadway one act but as an 86 minute moving picture film this needed a lot of development - or at the very least a lot of heavy editing.FLASH TO PARENTS AND FRIENDS WHO POSTED INCREDIBLE REVIEWS - if your reviews were disingenuous, you are not only cheating IMDb readers but the people behind this film. Think about it. You are building unreasonable expectations for a $20 movie ticket or DVD sale that the material cannot support. What should have been a great "reel" and learning experience for the filmmakers is now going to be held to the unreasonably high standard of your reviews. This is not going to sit well with people who watch based on your recommendations.
