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.

Rated: 2.5/4

New York Times

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.

Rated: 2.5/4

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.
