    It's Both the Journey and the Destination

    This is a delightful little movie with great acting, beautiful scenery, and likeable characters who are believable as regular people who meet and make a story that is their story.

    The direction is good and the script is well written. Both done by Paul Goodman -- while undergoing chemotherapy to boot.

    The soundtrack is even good.

    After a bad day, it made me feel good.

    Middle of the road...

    I love road trip films. This was very middle of the road as far as those go. Some interesting characters encountered along the way, decent dialogue at times but not throughout.

    But my main issue...I just could NOT buy into the compatibility/connection between the two leads. I tried, I really wanted to, but they just did not click for me romantically whatsoever. I couldn't BELIEVE. It made for moments that could otherwise have been touching so cringeworthy for me.

    The mystery of Bigfoot solved?

    An intriguing film about the fear of falling in love, commitment, and losing the tenuous hold one has on one's own identity. One lover always gets cold feet or in this case gets outed by Bigfoot! If you are a filmmaker you never lose by driving up the west coast.

    Surprisingly engaging

    I really got caught up in this, though I do hate films with enigmatic endings! I don't understand why Annika Foster has a double credit as I can't recall anyone calling her Sophia. Lovely scenery, worth it for that alone.

    Lovely film! Tech challenges, but a net positive you should watch.

    This is a lovely movie with a nice premise, likeable actors, gorgeous scenery. I really enjoyed it.

    As a film, it leaves a little to be desired, as the sound and some other technical and practical issues, all that will be resolved when this team get a little bit more budget and/or experience. It didn't take away from my enjoyment of the film itself, so please don't let it keep you from watching, though, but I did find myself wishing they'd had more money for sound, so it could match the potential shown by all the other factors, especially the cinematography.

    I gave it an 8 because I think you should watch this film. But don't prejudge it by your first impression of the tech. You'll enjoy this.
