American Dresser

There is a lot you could like in this movie if it had been made by a better director and had a stronger plot. The acting is fine, Berenger and David are good but are strung up by a movie that just doesn't know where it is going. It strives for drama but is not strong enough in its plotting to develop the drama or the plot strands and throws in events that just don't make sense. The direction is week and as the director is also one of the key leads, it comes across as too much of a vanity project. There are some positives: the two leads are strong and it's a pleasure to watch them. Also, the bikes are great and if you are a biker (as I am) then you'll probably enjoy the film cause you'll understand the thrill of a long bike tour. So if you are then this is not a bad way to while away 90 mins. However, if you're not, then this film will leave you frustrated because there is a lot here that could have been so much better.

I did not expect this movie to be that good considering the fact about guys on bikes. But I've always enjoyed Tom Berenger's performance from the sniper series so I jumped right in for the ride. Let me tell you I was really amazed by how amazing the story was also the fact that the journey featured some of the most beautiful places. Meeting new people have a little chat makes it all the more memorable. Such a heartwarming performance by the cast and the character build up, growing bond between them and the various places they travel through was just fun and satisfying to watch. I highly recommend this film to anyone who wishes to enjoy the carefree life with no complicated plots but a mesmerizing story with a peaceful ending.

Despite its low budget, this is a beautiful movie. I've read some of the comments, and I think they are unfair. This is not a "Sons of Anarchy" type of movie. If anyone is expecting something like gangsta b******, then they shouldn't even watch it. This is a drama about family, friendship, true love, life decisions, and of course love for motorcycles. Generally, a true refreshment compared to the sea of films made according to the same template. My rating is a strong 6, and that's only because of the low budget, but on the other hand, that gives it some charm and makes it simple and beautiful.

I was looking forward to this film, and I was very disappointed. Not one interaction between the characters was realistic. Every woman was infatuated with any one of them. I don't know any guy who scores every time. His daughter was angry as he left, but thrilled when he returns with no explanation. Cops are super villains to the point of being absurd. Main character lost his wife weeks again and has the hots for some woman he meets on the road and accepts a date with her. Group of super hot chicks on bikes come upon the scene. Yeah, that happens everyday. Silly bar fight scene. Main character meets a son he never met and right after they are both in tears. Then they both cry and Tom (the lead character) says, "I need a hug!" Really? I almost laughed. The acting was actually good, but the script they had to work with was ridiculous.

Didn't know what I was getting into, so the aerial views of our East coast was a beautiful surprise. The colors popped off our screen.

The film's setup can be a bit confusing but it's simple enough. The whole film is more a slide show of America and our people, than a mystery.

Personally I don't subscribe to Harley mania but I am very familiar with this vein of our country of peoples.

The movie is not sad but more beautiful than anything. What a great accomplishment for the actor, writer, and director who are all the same guy. Gina is perfect, and Tom gives it his best (though I don't think he actually rides, lol).

The California/Santa Monica bit was as accurate as my life. The beauty that comes from success at being Americans with careers and healthcare.

It's a nice, easy and visually appealing film for a Saturday night. The American Dream realized and reaffirmed on film.
