Road movies have become all too common. But the cast is excellent and there's a genuine sweetness and poignancy that makes this one worth the journey.

By the film's end, you're left with a sketch more than a full portrait. The characters were fleetingly interesting, yet you don't feel as if you have come to know them.

Riddled with [...] plot shortcuts and logic holes.

The actors (including Danny Glover as the law) are a fine bunch, but the screenplay can't find anything original to do with them.

There are plot holes galore, but the actors have terrific chemistry and make you care about their characters.

The bad reviews are surprising on this one. I think this is a great movie that looks at the tragedy in its plot with a wry youthful smile. The lead actors are top-notch, and their chemistry is great. I'd watch it again.
