What a lame and pointless movie. I really don't understand why so many people believe that driving a car across America would change your life and make you become more mature to understand the meaning of your life. It doesn't, stupid. What you'd get from the so-called soul-searching road trip would be: adding more mileage to your car, spending lot of money to buy gas to fill up your car, eating a lot of junk food from the fast food chains, checking into fleabag motels, sleepy all the time during your unknown destination long drive, getting several moving violation tickets from the Highway Patrol cops, getting a flat tire maybe not just once, getting numb and aching knees and lower back, pain in the neck, maybe result with constipation every couple of days, driving at night without seeing any motel in sight, feeling hungry suddenly but couldn't find any diner or fast food joint within 200 or 300 miles, constantly getting off your car to pee or take a dump along the deserted road, watching the gas very low warning and seeing the needle drop to the lowest left, constantly suddenly aware that you've fallen sleep until the abrupt swerve of your car that almost crash your car, feeling so estranged when driving into a big city and have to stop at so many traffic lights...these would be your only experience repeatedly in a cycle when you are on a naive mindless road trip, dreaming that you'd meet a lot of interesting fellow travelers, but in fact, you'll only meet lot of strangers when you wait in line to pay your gas bills or outside the men's room. Nothing, absolutely nothing interesting or relevant on the road. Nothing! Oh, BTW, your windshield might be hit by a pebble on the highway and crack up with a radiate spreading spider web crack that might block your view when you drive.
