    While I found this movie mildly distracting from the sad remembrances of 9/11, I found it quite astounding that "grandpa" garrison referred to grandma as just another "hole" and he was really in "love" with Mary Linson. Yet, when he travels across the country to finally see his lost love, she doesn,t remember him - at all! He is devastated and we are supposed to understand his pain and feel his angst. Uh, no, how do you like being diminished and marginalized. To Mary, you were just another body part to satisfy her one night, just a notch on her bedpost. Aaahhh, life,s a b*tch that way, isn,t it?!

    Good movie ... with ups and downs but in general it was a nice romantic thrilling road trip with a bit of dark comedy

    The movie in general was fine mm even though the plot itself is a bit like "seen that before" but still had a lot of new twists and the dark comedy made it look fresh ... what i didn't like is some scenes it gets a bit slow and the character of "Agent McFadden" could have been more involved in the comedy ... which instead ..as i felt ruined the ending a little "no spoilers" .. but it wasn't the totally happy ending i hoped for.

    The cast was fine .. i like Analeigh Tipton ,, not the first time she's ever done project like this ,, actually she's had her own career built around rom/com so she did okay in here .. Alex Sharp literally started acting provisionally last year, yet this is his his forth movie and two more are coming out next year ... and that is for a good reason.

    Final thought ,, it is not the perfect action/comedy movie you're expecting but it had a lot of action bits and a good amount of still comedy,, so it passes with good 7 stars ;)

    I Liked It

    It's a nice road movie, where the characters don't need to talk much about their past for you to have a perfect idea of their needs and despair. It's also beautiful both in scenery and feelings. Maybe its critics wanted it to be deep enough to drown the viewers in its first 5 minutes or so - it's the only explanation I have for the unjustified low rates.

    A surprising little quirk fest

    I went into this knowing it would a strange with b list actors and a quirky plot. I came out the end enjoying the ride very much. Even my lady who detests movies like this enjoyed it. The story was fun, the actors meshed well and the comedic moments didn't seem forced. Overall 7.1

      Harley: You steal?

      Fitz Paradise: Did Robin Hood steal bread? Did Jesus steal the grace of God?

      Stephanie: So smart.

      Harley: ...But... They're little girls...

      Fitz Paradise: No, no, no, no. Look behind the curtain, Dorothy. Selling cookies is how corporate American turns little girls into capitalists. Teaching them how to capitalise on their youth in skimpy outfits to move product. Behind those multiracial, happy faces, there's a big patriarchal pimp turning out little girls, one by one. I steal to lift the weight of these boxes off of their backs - because I like the mint ones.
