    A disappointment

    I am sorry I bought into the other rev and wasted my time.

    Real Life

    This was a pleasant surprise. I just happened upon this movie after returning from a trip to California and traveling the lower half of 101. I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline...just hoping there will be a sequel!!!!

    Poor film

    Camera man, directing, sound capture, acting are poor. Fake rating, think twice before you watch. Story line is weak as well.

    Surprise - a decent but unknown film

    No action etc, this is a film about a woman coming to terms with her past through the experiences on a road trip with her unpleasant friend and some characters she meets on the way. Genuine laughs and some good movie attributes. I was most pleased to guess her favourite dinosaur correctly. Can't really justify an 8 or above as this is getting into seriously good cinema territory but this is a whole jump ahead of Hallmark etc.

    Women will like it ....Men will not!

    Seems like a woman will like this type of film that explores and analyses the feelings. Guys could probably care less. Myself not into psychology of feelings displayed on the big screen. Poor acting other than Dinosaur Boy and dialog was kinda out there in nowheresvillie. Most interactions between main characters seems stressed and unbelievable. Waste of time for me.
