Skye Davis (Kate Hudson) is a starlet that one day is riding with her dad and they end stranded in a town in the desert where they gradually meet the town's eccentric residents. Some of them are Blue Baxter who is obsessed with tube bombs, athlete Peter Kepler (Casey Affleck), professor Lance Davidson (John Heard) that often discusses about his classes even tho we are in the summer, and Cale who wants to build a water park in the desert because it was his father's dream.
The acting was good by all (Hudson, Affleck, Christina Ricci, Heard, Michael Ironside, Peter Sarsgaard, Aunjanue Ellis and Liev Schreiber) but the reason why I consider this movie strange is because the characters are all unlike others you'd see in other movies, the situations were often bizarre and especially the ending came by surprise, with the river that comes out of nowhere in the desert and then is used as a swimming pool... you just have to see it to believe it!
Highly recommended if you are fans of the odd like me or fans of the cast members and if you are in the right mood you'd end up liking it like I did.
The films is full of cliches, and the eccentric characters are not original. The plot is standard and the performances just par. Christina Ricci, as in most of her most recent films, plays a bitchy cynic, while all the other characters do little: they have a goal and chase after it.
Very disappointing stuff, unoriginal and a script which was not very sharp, treading over similar ground. John Heard is the best thing in the movie, and he's not in it very often as Morgan J. Freeman instead focuses on the youth.

Professor Davidson: Remember: one person's interminable stretch of highway is--
Skye Davidson: Is another person's road to adventure, I know. But going out of our way to see a giant ice-cream cone? That's crazy.
Professor Davidson: Crazy? Crazy is NOT to see the giant ice-cream cone. How'd you like to tell your friends we were in Baxter--Oh, didja see the giant ice-cream cone? No, we missed it. THAT would be crazy.
