Highway

It starts off strange, then sucks, then gets good for a while, then alligator boy comes into the picture. I think Jake Glyllenhal is an awesome young talent, but he couldn't carry this. This movie was pretty well filmed and has some truly memorable scenes, but overall the dialogue was dumb and unbelievable. Also, the soundtrack should have consisted of songs from that time period instead of new punk stuff. Not horrible, but unfortunately pretty bad. 5.5/10

Count me in to the camp of people who are unable to fathom reviews of this movie that say it's a complete waste of time.

"Citizen Kane" it is certainly not. But it *is* an entertaining, fairly fresh road trip movie. Leto, Gyllenhaal, and Blair all give good performances.

I consulted the reviews on here before sitting down to catch this flick on cable late at night, and decided that I'd give it 20 minutes to prove itself either worthy of 1:45 of my time, or worthy of all the bad reviews it's picked up on here. Needless to say, I watched the whole film.

"Highway" is a decent off-beat comedy with some very memorable lines and a nice undercurrent of life-long friendship. Check it out... and, remember, "the world is divided into two groups of people-- pandas and alligator-boys." ;)

My score: 7 out of 10.

What's going on with the low ratings of this amazing film? A film filled with quirky scenes and outstanding character bits, this movie has plenty of stuff to keep any film buff intrigued and happy. The two leads do a great job of playing off one another in their madcap escape from inevitable danger, while meeting up with a very odd assortment of characters, such as Jeremy Piven as an off-the-wall drug dealer whose monologue is one of the more dynamic in recent film history; or John McGinley's off-beat role; or Selma Blair's warm and caring nature; or the strange alligator boy; or Seatle's grunge scene; or lots of clever lines of dialog handled quite well by Jared and Jake. This film deserves a round of second opinions, because it's a hell of a lot better than the reviews suggest.

Wow! this movie was so much better then i expected. i was walking down the aisle of the local video store and was intrigued by the cover. i had heard a little about it before but Highway was definitely worth the rental price.

For one, the acting was superb. Jared Leto is an extraordinary actor and all of them had wonderful timing with every thing they did. The story is what wont leave my mind. A bizarre, maybe metaphoric way of looking at the power of life and the search for love. Some times it takes a violent disturbing movie to make an impact because we live in a world that is so full of distractions.

I would recommend this movie to any one with an open mind that is willing to experience life through some one else's mind. 10/10

Ever find yourself down in the dumps about life in general, and then happen upon an obscure movie that just for the moment makes you feel alright? Me neither. I totally recommend this movie if your in the mood for some brainless fun. Gotta love the On the Road pics that focus on friendship, love, drugs and the other nameless joys you quit pursuing as soon as your hair started turning gray. Selma Blair for President!
