Perhaps not a totally original theme, but definitely a breath of fresh air as far as road trip movies go, and of course that amazing scenery! The main characters aren't goody-two shoes but you're unlikely to get fed up or annoyed with them. Although these fairly unknown actors did a fantastic job easily on par with more established ones, the star of the show has to be that mini! Now thanks to this movie, I would have to say that New Zealand can happily be known for something other then middle earth!
