Das Highway-Trio

The film was pretty good. It is nowhere near the potential the Adam Rifkin shows in his later works for instance Detroit rock city. Which was one of my favorite movies of all time. But this is One of Rifkin's first movies and he didn't really have much time to grow as a director or writer yet so all in all it was a funny and good film.

This movie doesn't feature many Rifkin signatures - you won't see many of the classic shots so prominent in "Invisible Maniac" or "Detroit Rock City", but there are a couple 'fantasy" sequences that are definite Rifkin shots.

Beyond the Adam Rifkin appeal, the movie wasn't that bad. In fact, the main detraction is the cameos. There are three main ones and they are so obviously written in just to have a cameo that it ruins the flow of the movie. Charlie Sheen's is great, Nicolas Cage's is OK (although his appearance is worth the price of the movie).

The whole feel of the movie has that 80's sexuality to it - the would-be sexual adventurers discovering the true meaning of relationships.

It looks good (considering there's only one location in the whole film) and the soundtrack is not bad. It's an enjoyable bit of 80's cinema that's great for watching while you dust your room or something.

And it's a must for the Rifkin fan!

unpretentious and unassuming, you may easily miss seeing this movie for one that is. but don't. stick around for a bit and be drawn in to this movie. it ebbs and flows into an unusual panorama that makes a story good. it is like your favorite short story, basically a small chapter in a book of life; what happens before or after is inconsequential. this movie is one i remember years after i saw it, perhaps so shall you.

I came across this movie seeing that Nicolas Cage has made a cameo, I decided to watch it since it was on netflix. This movie is one of the most boring "movies" I have ever watched. The characters are all goofy and unrealistic including the police and tow truck drivers. And it isn't in a good goofy kind of way but just pathetic and bothersome to watch. The storyline is predictable, the characters are dull, bad acting, bad writing, and everything along with it. The low budget makes this even worse. Keep away from this movie unless you want to come for the cameo appearances (Nicolas Cage & Charlie Sheen). Generously give it a 2/10 because of the cameos.

Great cast - Claudia Christian at her sexiest, Peter Berg at his dumbest and Andrew Lauer at his most endearing. A handful of surprise guest stars add to the fun. The desert location is fine and the soundtrack cleverly intertwined with the action. A must see..
