Indian Road Trip

I watched this after noting the rating and reviews on here and wonder if I missed something. I found the movie to be sorely lacking in entertainment value. It wasn't funny or engaging at all, the script and pacing were so dull, and it failed to build into any sort of compelling story like a good movie does. I was just aching to turn it off, but I held on hoping it would somehow come around. I don't even understand the little subplot with the car seat and the hidden thug's money. To me it didn't seem to tie in whatsoever with the main storyline about the elder Indian woman trying to quell a family curse. I don't know, I may have missed the connection, but it seemed to make the film even more laborious to get through. If anything the scenery is nice, but I don't recommend this movie, sorry to say - try Smoke Signals or something else.

I saw Indian Road Trip at the Whistler International Film Festival, and was very pleasantly distracted from the horrors of 2020 for the full run of the film. The two con men at the centre of the story were gorgeous, funny, and utterly compelling. The story is antic, with magic, a road trip, nude beach, and even a miscommunicated heist--something for everyone. See it if you can!
