Steineded How sad is this?

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

JohnnyLee1 Rare character-based two-hander. A cinematic Waiting For Godot. Performances were a pleasure to watch especially Emile Hirsch's. Can't say I understood the Lady character but the truck driver (to whose memory the film is dedicated) is a joy.

Red_Identity I mean, I think this is an okay film. it sure has ideas about where it wants to go to in terms of its themes, but I personally didn't find the two main characters all that interesting or iluminative, not to mention not particularly likable. Rudd seems to be putting on a lot of superficiality for his role here, just trying too hard. But he's still not bad. Emile Hirsch comes off like the more realistic person here (and seeing the latest controversy regarding him, it's probably safe to say much of his character isn't a stretch for him) But yes, he does well, but there's so much one can do with this material. Yeah, not particularly a strong recommendation.

kvatter I took this DVD out from my library so I can at least say I didn't waste any money on it's purchase(other than my taxes). Two men in the Texas back country get jobs painting stripes on a road. That's about as exciting as it gets. What we're told on the cover is that two men of very different backgrounds and sensibilities bond in this job. What I saw were two fairly unlikable guys who share some misery with each other. There's no journey of self-discovery, no real humor other than a strange drunken truck driver that appears a few times during the film. The only bonding I could see was done with a large helping of alcohol along with a pointless destruction of a large portion of their equipment (yet it all gets packed neatly back in the jeep at the end??). Just a lot of empty, meandering dialogue as you would expect from two people with nothing in common. I was really hoping that at least someone would say a few witty things but it just drifts off to nothing, leaving us stranded as viewers in the wilderness.

gavin6942 Two highway road workers (Paul Rudd and Speed Racer) spend the summer of 1988 away from their city lives. The isolated landscape becomes a place of misadventure as the men find themselves at odds with each other and the women they left behind.I cannot really say I liked or disliked this one. While it was fun, and really had that indie feel to it (like old Wes Anderson or Richard Linklater), it never fully took off and became something I can see as being memorable down the line. I am also not clear on the point of making it set in 1988... besides the lack of cell phones, I am not sure what the difference would be.
