I won't say this is the worst movie I've ever seen, but if you want to I certainly wouldn't argue with you. Virtually no plot, and where there is one, it is insipid. The idea of a cross-country road trip is nothing new, but it at least is a good premise for funny things to happen. Unfortunately, nothing funny ever happens.The acting is not good either. I got the impression they knew they were in a bad movie and just didn't try.Save yourself the trouble and just skip this one.

A law intern wants to impress his boss before his Bar Exam so he offers to help his daughter by moving her and her pet pig to the other end of the country. A lot of things happen in the meantime that will make the main character change his perception over life and discover true love along the way.A bad movie from the beginning to the end. A pointless and average plot that features a series of weird events that have no meaning whatsoever. Not to say that the end is as bad as the rest, the main character finally realizing out of nowhere that he loves the girl who's been escorting throughout the entire journey.Luckily it had few entertaining moments that made me laugh, otherwise it would have received a really bad rating.

This movie had so much potential to be hilarious yet moving but fell way short of either. It had a great story line, it just was not executed as good as it could have been. The weird "hallucinations" during his sleep scenes made absolutely no sense and definitely was not needed, they made no impact nor did they enhance or lend any understanding of what was to come or happen.Jon Heder's character was OK but could have been expanded upon more. He played the crappy part he was given at his best. The character was funny, but again, it fell short of what could have been.Mila's character was perfect and her performance was spot on.In closing, the writing was horrible and more often than not, made no sense and his hallucinations did not fit with the movie at all. This movie, with better scripting and directing, could have been a contender to National Lampoon's Vacation as far as funny, bad things happening to a person on a trip across America.Instead, it was only worthy of a second "flush". If I would have seen this at the theater, I would have demanded my money back and boycotted the film.The only thing that this film did was waste an hour and a half of my life. It also managed to make all those involved in the movie look bad, simply because the movie was a stinker.I do not recommend this movie to anyone! Ever!

Rutger Hauer helps along a film that basically can be summed up in the young person finding themselves category, and rather obviously so, so it needs a lot of help.The beginning holds a lot more promise, of a film that could turn into Michael Clayton or Stranger Than Fiction. It's too bad because I really got hooked into the beginning. Then, like the opening soundtrack, it went from great and intriguing to basically nowhere.It's fun enough with plenty of curiosities and interesting characters acted well. I'm sure that will be enough for many people. The problem is it all feels contrived and empty which, ironically, is supposed to be the main discovery for the character's self realization. Not the film itself (it's not a self aware film), but that the character is supposed to recognize his own life is contrived and empty.
