Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

I wasn't sure what to expect going in to the movie. I had watched a preview for it here on IMDb and thought that it seemed like an interesting story. Boy was I wrong! The acting in this "movie" is some of the worst I've ever witnessed in ANY movie. Another reason I had decided to rent this is because one of the other users here who had posted a review made a comment about how great the acting was. She must've been high, because this was laughable. The two hippy women were probably the worst of the bunch but the loudmouthed punk kid was right up there, too.I wouldn't recommend this movie to Helen Keller. The story is so lame that it'll have you squirming in your seat. Stuck in traffic because of downed power lines and a man who refuses to move his wrecked car? Okay, here's an idea...TURN YOUR CAR AROUND AND GO BACK THE WAY YOU CAME!!! Jeez. I wanted to scream.Watch this movie you you want but don't expect it to be any more interesting than watching paint dry.

Surprising interactions, frayed nerves, and raw emotions keep this movie fresh and easy to watch. I have to admit I showed up for Jeffrey Dean Morgan, but left loving the entire cast, especially the playful sweetness of Tess Harper and hilarious bluntness of Amanda Foreman.I felt the heat of the day, the desperation of isolation, the frustration of marital nitpicking, the raw burn of a skinned knee, the urge to chain-smoke, and the embarrassment of potential lust gone awry. I wanted to pat some characters on the back and slap others upside the head.Craig Serling created a movie with an aftertaste of friendship: you want to know what happens to these characters after the movie ends. I'd like to view this movie several more times.Thank you, Mr. Serling, for a sweet, easy to follow, emotional film.

I saw this at the Boston Film Festival and it's quite a good movie. It has lots going for it, especially two things: A strong ensemble cast with favorites like Tess Harper and William Forsythe, made even stronger by the solid Amanda Detmer, who has charisma galore, and the sexy Jeffery Dean Morgan. Rrrrrrrrrrrr. Secondly, it shows strong work by first-time feature director, Craig Serling. His directing is confident and efficient and watchable. His background in editing pays off here in his deft storytelling. Juggling so many story lines couldn't have been easy.At turns funny and poignant, it was a crowd pleaser at the festival with good reason.

A competent all around cast with actress Gina Torres delivering a sobering performance as a believable protective father. She seems like one to watch. William Forsythe mellows, perhaps over compensating to reconnect to his abandoned son. Jeffery Morgon examines,trying to make sense of it all while the wind stirred briskly by this traffic Jam of people blows on his weathered weary face. A new subject is inferred upon here regarding internet dating and gas guzzlers! You know that's coming. Tess Harper plays a sweet grandma type and is a joy to see keeping Jeffs'kids calm and occupied while everyone tries to figure when this unplanned family reunion might end. Jonathan Silverman plays a yuppie whose power-base seems to erode by the minute. Painfully funny! Happiness sometimes takes commitment! Good Job Mr. SerlingBob Saldana /actor
