Don't Believe The Anti-Hype.
What do you want from a "movie?"
This one has fantastic cinematography, handsome leads, the road-movie premise, intelligent writing, problems hidden-identified-dealt with-explained - loose ends left, a sucker punch of an ending for any old romantics around!
A really well thought out look at love, commitment, marriage, infatuation, relationships, children and friendship.
Cannot believe the negative reviews - OK so the leads are contrasting and insanely handsome, the people they meet are very much on point and on-message - but remember folks - this is a film!!!!!!
I loved it and I cared about these people!
She's In Portland is a Fun Ride
I loved this film. It's funny. It's touching. It's an awesome road trip movie with the very best cinematography of the Pacific Coast I have ever seen. It's just a fun film that I could watch again and again.
This movie is loaded with up-and-coming stars. It had really great music. I loved the performances from all the primary actors. To me, the script ran very true-to-life. I felt like I could identify with all the characters and their respective motivations.
I also absolutely loved one particular scene in the movie, where the two main guys in the film have an impromptu dinner with two ladies a few years older (and wiser) than them. This scene stood out as particularly insightful to me. In the end, it's just a four people talking. But Director Marc Carlini took his time with this scene, and with some really great acting and an awesome script, he got the best on-screen discussion of the meaning of life that I can recall seeing. I would strongly recommend this film for this scene alone.
In terms of what you might compare this movie to, Sideways is the closest comparable I can think of. I loved that film, too. Though this film is similar in that it's two very different guys who are friends going on a road-trip with sometimes funny drama ensuing, this film is not trying to be like Sideways. She's in Portland is its own story. It also has a younger and hipper vibe than Sideways had. Nonetheless, they are similar films, and I'm sure I won't be the only one making this comparison.
Overall: Great film! 10 out of 10.

Beautiful movie ? Huh?
I really have no feeling about this movie. It's not too boring but not funny and not worth watching as well. It's a mediocre production n tons of review here rate so up about this movie.

Beautifully Shot Movie
Road trip movie after being stuck inside for months. Count me in. This movie had gorgeous cinematography. Doesn't look like it was made on an indie film budget. Tommy and Francois have a great dynamic. I want to buy that Bronco!
Not even slightly charming. The main actors are attractive......that's about it.
I watched this because of the title. I like to watch film where Portland is part of the character, and also to be a detective to locate where the different scenes are filmed. The last few minutes could have been any where in the world. I'm going to put myself out there and say that the film makers had a really good time along highway 101. By the time they got to Portland they just wanted to go home.
