She's in Portland

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.

If you looking to do a road trip on the west coast and want to see how that could look this is the movie for your. Otherwise skip it.

The camerawork is great and from there it is all downhill. The acting of both lead characters is so bad that it is cringe worthy at times. The film always get's better when other characters, all women, are with these two men. All the women deliver good performances but unfortunately were are spending time with two main characters that have no chemistry at all and the script fails to give as any reason why these both are actually friends. We never get why we should root for them. Tommy Dewey also is just miscast. He always looks a little devious so he never fits into that character he is supposed to be.

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!

Im half an hour in, I think I have seen one person of color. I guess "beautifully shot" is code for completely devoid of what California actually looks like.

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.
