That was pretty cute but was long at the same time. If u want to impress ir something like that don't watch with that expectation, I wanted be on the journey when I watch it, chill.
Life is not bad as u see there is more out there, I saw a lot with all my journey but I know there are more like this guys showed me.
I see a lot of bad review people hate it just I didn't understand what they expected, the movie tell you chill but as I understand from your review you didn't.
I mean yea maybe would be better but I don't think they wanted show as something better and impressive I think they exactly showed us what they want and it was chill.

Man, i really hate to leave a negative review for a cast of kids and an indie flick on a budget, so i'm sorry everybody, but this movie was like watching some random persons iphone's camera roll and just as uneventful as you could imagine that to be.
I have a hard time believing there was any kind of script or game plan to this "movie". No real thought provoking dialogue between cast members throughout their journey. No real meaningful conversations. Nothing interesting emotionally or visually ... just two hours of totally random 'happenings' and word vomit as these kids went from the east side of oregon to the west.
Along the way they encounter a bunch of other (trashy) people while someone sits back and records all these interactions. It's really that basic and about as boring as you would think.
There was absolutely no need to drag this out for two hours. An hour and fifteen minutes would've been more than enough for this movie/doc.
Also of note, it made oregon, one of the most beautiful places in America, seem super crappy and trashy, which it's just not.
Very disappointing to say the least.
If you have something else you were considering, i'm 99% sure that will be better than this.

This is cinema today, with few means but an urgent and necessary narrative verve, an unrepeatable moment to capture and make dance in the eyes of the spectator. This is a very naïve road movie that goes nowhere, but that's exactly the point. The directionless escape, that botched excitement that exudes sublime and releases the energy of adolescence, of the future without a destination, of the necessary escape. The Ross brothers are attached to their characters, which are an offshoot of themselves, almost, in a maniacal and adorable way, they apply their documentary experience and their authorial sensitivity to a sensitive and delicate subject such as adolescence, always and forever. Always. The truth is in the moment, the escape action is an instinct, the direction is optional, the important thing is the journey and the sensations it gives you, or will give you in the future and the Ross brothers know how to shape this chaos of videos and photos of cell phones, lo-fi digital footage and budding adolescence with thrilling artistry and poetry, letting you dive into the lives of these kids with a rare vitality. A precious and emotional film to reconcile with the present.
The movie captures the essence of being young exceptionally well. The uncertainty, the problems, the not knowing what the future holds. Sure, it might lack in some aspects, it doesn't have the life changing quotes or crafted dialogues. But it reminds you of being young. As someone who grew up on the other side of the world, did mischievous stuff with friends and felt confused growing up, i recognised the universal feel of real friendships and love between ordinary people seen in the film. Also, people who rate it as 1 are either too old to remember being young or never had real friends. Brilliant. And remember, life works in mysterious ways.
The entire movies dialog between characters consists only of drunk teenagers talking. No real conversations, just blabbering. The few lines in between that want to seem philosophical or meaningful, are as empty as the movies storyline. Sounding like quotes, a 14 year old puts on their bathroom mirror, they almost annoyed me.
The only maybe good thing was the camera, it made the movie feel like it was filmed by college students, which gave it a raw creative feeling. Sadly the story felt like it was written by college students as well.
The only time in my life I walked out of a cinema, I wanted to endure it, but the before mentioned philosophical parts were too much to endure.
I created an IMDB account just to give this terrible movie a bad review.
Would not recommend.
Would rather sit around quietly in a room doing nothing than watching a second of this movie.
