Fergies husband is actually a pretty damn good actor! After
looking at the cover art you would think this is a slasher/horror flick, but
its much better! If you have ever gone a road trip with a buddy and
discovered after a few hours that you want to kill them than this is the movie
for you! C'mon, admit it, we have all been trapped in a situation with
someone who annoys the shit out of you, right? This heartwarming story
focuses solely on two old college buddies who are a bit of an odd couple.
One is successful, married, has a kid and is completely unhappy with his
life. The other is your typical free spirited, law school drop out, want
to be writer who is a broke looser. They havent seen each other in a while
and probably would have been better off letting sleeping dogs lie. The
majority of the movie is dialogue heavy set in a pickup truck that is
"broke down" on the side of a rarely traveled highway. The
writing is excellent and the story is very well set up. Without giving up
too much of the movie, there are some great twists that only makes the movie
better. I highly suggest watching this movie as I was pleasantly
surprised! Oh, and one more thing, if an old buddy wants to take a trip,
you might want to seriously consider flying!
FYI: There were a number of titles attached to this film
before the director decided on "Scenic Route"
