A Fork in the Road

It's well-written, competently acted, good story, funny, what's not to like? Incredible scenery too, I don't recall any other movie shot in a place like that.

I thought I might be in for some low budget amateurish flick as I didn't recognize any of the cast, but the story kicked off, kept my interest, made me laugh, and the cast were good. Great production values. The lead girl looks vaguely familiar and I recognized her sister who is, according to the credits, Missi Pyle, although she's not listed on IMDb as of my post.

So if you like a comedy that's a little on the black side, you can do a lot worse than this.

If you see it at NetFlix, it is worth watching. The production values are excellent. No big special effects eating away at the budget. No big names. No giant spiders. This is just a "what if?" film that stays interesting and delivers a laugh every couple of minutes.

It is not over the top comedy like Airplane! or Naked Gun. It is more of a bumbling, mistaken identity, he's dead, no he's not, type of humor that is never juvenile. Likable characters, even the ones we like to hate.

Some toilet humor, but not really the kind of toilet humor some films stoop to. This is high class toilet humor. It has no boring character introduction scenes at the beginning. Five minutes into the movie you have action and adventure and a giggle or two.

In the age of internet movie night, this is a very good choice. I want to watch these actors again.

This would be a good double bill choice with Bonnie and Clyde.

This movie was decent. Although it had a low budget feel to it, the actors delivered very convincing roles in their characters. At first I couldn't remember Jaime King's sister, but then I realized I seen her in White Chicks, with Shawn and Marlon Wayans. With all the drama that comes with movies, this was a sure delight. In the performances,the character of the escape convict was convincing enough. I also thought the roll of the Sheriff was intense but funny. The detective that was with him, also down played his character, but they pulled it off. Every scene had its moment where you wondered what was gonna happen next. The movie was written and directed very well. I recommend it to those who like dark comedy with a hint of romance.

First of all, let me clarify why this movie warrants 9/10. I did not have any expectations from this movie when I first watched it. The movie is hilarious, the scenery amazingly picturesque, and the background music helps add to the fun.

After I watched the movie, I rented it out again to watch it with my wife and she too loved it. We were laughing through the entire length of the movie. This movie does not have any of the rude humor that you see in movies nowadays.

Love it... and may watch it again in a few days.

Brilliant!

as another reviewer stated "why have i never heard of this movie?". i'll tell you why - it's just a waste of a truly fantastic story. i was so disappointed with this film i cannot express my feelings. i jumped at this flic because the other reviewers expressed such delight. so i had to see it.

the only thing that saves this movie (with me) is the many twist and turns and surprises in the plot. but the acting, script, direction, and pacing of the film are just awful. really! in one scene it's pouring rain and in the very next scene everything is dusty bone dry - no!!! that doesn't work.

and the actors are just pitiful. it's obvious the two principle actors were chosen because they are very pretty and have tight bodies for that ludicrous opening scene in the house. the script is ho-hum, and actors delivery weak and lame.

but the plot has so many twist and unexpected turns (not all of them, some are predictable - like the explosion) that you watch and become interested.
