    Woman on the road to jumpstart her life, takes her dad along for company-who brings mom's ashes along, for company, too!

    This movie has what's needed to be a funny and touching movie, without veering into Hallmark card territory. Director McKaskell draws a great performance out of Carlo Fiorletta, who morphs, on screen, from a sad sack widower to a maybe-sexy single older man. Actor Tara Westwood handles the funny stuff from the start, from the humiliation of being the last to find out she's married to a closeted gay man, to realizing that, indeed, her father has needs just as much as she does.

    Who would have thought? The nerve!

    The cinematography must have been challenging, as shooting a road picture, realistically, always is. Yet the shots are relentlessly impressive - one lovely beach scene followed by Spanish moss followed by the quiet intensity of the boat scene near the end.

    Unlike writer Mara Lesemann's first movie, Surviving Family, this movie is more focused, more tight, and so has a storyline that pulls one along. There are fewer side characters, and they serve as more clear foils to the major characters. That's really a plus - we get to know these folks well by the end of the movie. And we care about them. By the closing shot, we're really pulling for Dan to make that move.

    So why a 9 and not a 10? Picky stuff, such as the love interest wearing his shirt the next morning, when the woman didn't - I've never known a guy to get up at night and pull on a t-shirt. A scene in a bar felt a little off. And still too many side characters, who seemed well- loved by the writer but could still be cut for greater intensity. But 95 plus percent of this movie was spot on, and the original music was fantastic - I would buy some of that music. The rapping night clerk? great. Phyllis Somerville plays the mechanic and we saw her in Surviving Family; here, we get a better understanding of the don't ask/don't tell mentality that lingers in the south.

    Overall? Great movie. Would watch it again. If it comes near you, grab it.

    An Adventure full of love and laughter

    Ever since I watched "Surviving Family" written by Mara Lesemann, I knew I had to watch "Detours." She and her crew did a tremendous job on the previous film, I knew this one would be a success.

    What a great film. An adventure full of love and laughter that many can relate too.

    Dialogue felt really natural and I love the GPS, the motel clerk, and the cop. I usually don't laugh out loud but I did.

    Overall, it's a great film, very enjoyable, and I'm sure it's on its way to winning some awards.

    Keep up the great job Mara, looking forward to see more of your work.

    Poignant, moving, story

    A daughter must relocated with her grieving father. Terrific performances from the leads and special praise to the director for such delicate handling of sensitive material.

    A wonderful, heart-wrenching, touching and funny ride!

    I saw "Detours" at the Long Island International Film Expo along with two short films. While I enjoyed the shorts, I was blown away by "Detours". It's one of those films that hook you from the beginning and make you feel like you're a part of it, as if you're sharing a living room, kitchen, car adventure or meal with the players.

    I'd seen Tara Westwood in "Surviving Family" and loved her performance there, but she won me over even more so in "Detours". Though her character's trials & tribulations here weren't things I have exactly been though, her performance made me feel her angst as well as her jubilation.

    Her dad, played by Carlo Fiorletta, was both sympathetic and funny as hell. His humor, though, would come out of nowhere and be understated, making situations even funnier. In the end, though, it was his character's relationship with Westwood's that "made" the film. It was like they were real-life father & daughter (they're not).

    I'm hopeful that there will be a sequel, because this is one family, albeit a two-person one, with whom I've love to spend more tears & laughs.

    Boring, flat, uninteresting.

    Here we go again with the biased reviews from people that will only review one movie in their entire IMDb career, friends of friends from the cast or somebody else that worked on the movie, in other words fake reviews. Detours isn't that good, it's mediocre at best. It started a tiny bit interesting but you realize pretty soon this is going nowhere, or at least nothing interesting anymore. The acting is obviously from people with no experience at all, none of them will ever win an Oscar, I can guarantee you that. The cinematography wasn't really great either, it looked amateuristic but it's passable. The story is just too slow and boring, and by the end you just wonder why they make a movie like this one. There are good indies but this one isn't one of them.
