Decent Movie and Good Laughs

Rating: 9/10 (17 September 2013)

When this movie came out my first reaction was, it's gonna bomb. I underestimated Jennifer Annistons appeal. The movie started off good and I found myself laughing, sometimes hard. It's a decent script, not great and the performances are decent as well. The movie holds up, though there are moments that really feel contrived. However, it's about the journey and this road trip movie was pretty good. Jason S is capable, Jennifer too, the supporting cast however, are the true gems of the movie. The 'kids' are spot on, and when TLC's "Waterfalls" plays...its hilarious. The second half of the movie begins to lose steam as it becomes predictable but again, there were enough laughs that the dull parts don't last long. All in all, I thought it was worth watching, it was funny and the story, again, is decent.
