'Interstate 60' is a light movie and despite being made in the early 2000's, it looks like the product of the eighties. Including the kitsch and the cheesiness involved. Generally, I thought it started kind of slow but gradually improved as the movie went on.
The things I liked:
The not so much:
My conclusion, is that if you have a mood for a light movie and don't mind a bit of surrealism, this one is a good choice. Eventually it bears a good message as well - which is follow your heart - even if it is not as pronounced as one would expect.
The things I liked:
- The story. It's original and rich. Not everything is great, but overall, I really appreciate the effort.
- Has genuinely funny moments.
- Never boring. You know how it ends, but you still want to see what's next.
- The lawyer town is a stroke of genius. Very smart and very funny episode.
The not so much:
- There was no real bond between me, the viewer, and the main character. Mainly because some of his actions made him look rather unlikable (nothing too serious but I wouldn't applaud such behavior). Also, there was no real depth to him.
- Visually too simple. It really could have used some atmospheric visuals/score to augment the surrealism.
- O. W. Grant's problem was really unnecessary.
My conclusion, is that if you have a mood for a light movie and don't mind a bit of surrealism, this one is a good choice. Eventually it bears a good message as well - which is follow your heart - even if it is not as pronounced as one would expect.
