A cheap counterfeit of real life.

Rating: 3/10 (9 August 2009)

I had insomnia and had gotten this movie on netflix a couple of days ago and decided to watch it.I should have taken a sleeping pill.A co-worker told me this was a great movie,I can't wait to see him.First of all no parent should allow their children to watch this film.It teaches them to just give up on life and everyone who loves you when the going gets tough.In reality there are too many people living destitute lives who in their right mind would willingly throw away everything just to get back at their parents, but only in the end by punishing yourself.All the people that are encountered on this wild endeavor are extremely nice, yeah right.Try hitching in the real world your liable not to even make it to the next stop alive.This movie ways just a complete and utter mess if it said anything it loudly told me to continue to work hard, strive for the best, and don't ever visit Alaska on foot without a guide.My heart deeply goes out to his family I know he was loved and missed.How could anyone in their right mind call this a great film, you should be ashamed, would you want you child to become self exiled from your family, think about it.If so invite them to sit down with you to watch into the wild and be sure they have a note pad to take notes.
