Not bad.

For a road trip movie packed with contrived situations, it is surprisingly heart-warming, funny and well-acted.

"Sometimes, however, empty, contrived fantasies are just empty, contrived fantasies, as is certainly the case with this embarrassingly phony cross between Grace Is Gone, Home of the Brave and, believe it or not, Twister." - Nick Schager

#11#, reviews, story, Rachel McA/7-4

starts off with a bunch of cliches and stereotypes of what happens to military people, then after all the obligitory divorce proposition and fights it pulls together with some interesting stuff--that is actually pretty entertaining. i cant say i appreciate the end, it feels like it's trying to send a nationalistic message of duty that just doesnt work with the world's state of affairs today.

This is a perfect little movie. A movie that examines the effects of war on three soldiers returning home and their interaction with civilians as they drive across country. The three main actors are incredible together. The film keeps a sweet sense of humor throughout. [* My favorite*Entry 14 Birthday CD Movie Crawl 02.28.2009]

Interesting film about dealing with life. A little predicable in places but good.

Take three actors who have seemingly nothing in common, (Robbins, McAdams & Peña) the combination of whom you're sure would suck, throw them together in random, screwed-up cinematic situations and you'd think you'd have an instant movie disaster, but surprisingly, for some unexplained reason, it works, and works well!
