Conner goes on his honeymoon, alone, and finds adventure with a ragtag group in Central America.

Variety

Overacted and overblown, pic will underwhelm commercially, with theatrical perhaps limited to friends and family.

...director Thomas Whelan embraces the wanderlust spirit in this enjoyable if uneven film, whose qualities often reflect the television background of most of its cast.

The use of such locales as Bolivia, Nicaragua, Panama and Peru adds to the exotic flavor of the film.

Part The Graduate, part Fitzcarraldo, The Art of Travel is a tribute to living on the road less traveled. Filmed entirely on location, it offers a more rounded portrayal of culture outside of the standard Hollywood clichs

It's a sturdy directorial job for a difficult movie; one that wants to spread the idea of travel as the ultimate cotton swab of life, but also engages in good times to keep the less spiritually open audience members awake.

Rated: B+

Travel is an ambitious, involving and extensive travelogue that challenges the imagination. [A] feasible fable that allows one to remain contemplative and connected

Rated: 2.5/4

The film kept my attention during the first part through the jungle. It got increasingly better as more interpersonal relationships began developing. Finally it seemed to be turning into an engaging love story. But it became clear at the VERY end that the protagonist, Conner, was still just as much of a self-centered jerk as he was at the very beginning. At both the beginning and the end, it turns out everything was about HIM. Which was quite disappointing, since I had started to like him.

A good movie from start to end....at times you can tell the budget is low but it does not affect the story and at times you feel that you are vicariously on the journey.
