A Fork in the Road

This movie moved well and I thought it was very funny. I found myself laughing out loud and I was watching the movie by myself. In the IMDb credits the characters Carl and April are listed with a last name of Rogers but in the movie they refer to Carl's last name as Dumas.

Not a bad movie to watch as I could watch any movie with Jamie King. I love the scenery in that part of Montana- gateway to north part of Yellowstone. Great title for the movie. The movie is easy to watch and moves on quite nicely. If you are looking for a movie where you can sit back and laugh and wonder how they are going to handle one predicament after another this movie is for you.

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.

Not often will you go in watching a film without expectations and coming out very pleased. A Fork in the Road starts with just that and ends with just that. Everything that happens in the movie starts because of a literal fork in the road. But what happens in-between is a classic situation comedy romp. Misunderstandings and mishaps ensue in a quirky tale of hunk's that is full of twists you won't see coming. Solid from start to finish, the leads have great chemistry and the story the centers around them is a riot with a hint of sweetness. Definitely something I'd watch again and again, because it's that enjoyable.

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.

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.
