Ben Benjamin (Paul Rudd) plays a caretaker of Trevor (Craig Roberts) a teenager with Duschene Muscular Dystrophy (he can't move anything besides his hands and head) as they go on a road trip to see the world's largest pit, despite single mother Elsa's (Jennifer Ehle) warnings, picking up a quirky cast of characters including a rebellious girl who ran away from home named Dot (Selena Gomez) and Peaches (Megan Ferguson), a pregnant woman who's car broke down. The brilliantly comedic and dramatic banter between Rudd and Roberts is amazing and the supporting cast does a great job especially, and surprisingly, Selena Gomez. It's probably the best buddy road trip comedy since Dumb and Dumber though not as stupid and more realistic. 9.5/10 watch it on Netflix now.
... View MoreStumbled across this title on Netflix after watching the series "Atypical". I don't normally take the time to write reviews but this is a great movie with some real heartwarming moments intertwined with moments of great sadness and genuine comedy. I find Paul Rudd either very good or terrible in his acting but in this he was a joy to watch. Some great supporting acting. You will not be disappointed if you watch this movie.

... View MoreI picked this movie mostly at random on Netflix and was very pleasantly surprised to see a sweet comedy like this one. It was vulgar, cringe- worthy, and provoked more than a few eyerolls. However overall, it was a very funny movie that made the journey worthwhile.Paul Rudd was clearly the driving force behind the drama, but both Craig Roberts and Selena Gomez (?!) did a fine job as the love-struck couple travelling through the American West. It didn't transcend its medium, but it was a very earnest film that made me laugh and (almost, but not really) cry.(I saw this on March 1, 2017.)
