Summary: Very fun film
Review: I was very surprised how good this film actually was and the acting and story were quite excellent. The end was a bit slow, but for a video release it was amazing. I'm surprised this did not go into the theatres as it's way better than most stuff out there. Jeremy Piven's performance was fantastic and the rest of the cast did a terrific job. I think this director has a big future ahead of him.

Summary: A surprisingly enjoyable movie
Review: I watched this movie with very low expectations, but I was very surprised. It was terrifically acted by all of the three leads (Jared Leto, Jake Gyllenhaal, Selma Blair), and they made all of the characters likable even though no one of them were honorable people. The performances save this movie from a weak plot. And while this movie is definitely not for everyone, I reccomend it to people who want to see a movie that is different from every other movie out there.

Summary: I say no.
Review: I went through a lot to get this movie. After going to 2 video rental stores and failing to find it, I finally decided to buy it because it had something to do with my favorite band (Nirvana), and my favorite actor (Jake Gyllenhaal) has a large part in it. Let's just say that I was very disappointed. The dialogue was horrible and predictable. The plot made absolutely no sense. At times there were attempts to be philosophical but failed so badly it made me laugh out loud. By the end I couldn't care less about the well-being of the characters. I was insulted by the use of a Kerouac quote after the final fade-to-black. For you Jake Gyllenhaal fans out there: the only thing it will ever have in common with DONNIE DARKO and BUBBLE BOY is that Jake is in it. I am a struggling college graduate who expected way more out of this experience and now I want my money back. This is advice coming from a person with a BA in film who has intensely studied the subject for 7 for years: DO NOT BUY IT. It's a waste of time more than anything else.

Summary: Jared Leto is a total babe
Review: Jack (Jared Leto) is shown in his full physical glory. For those of you that saw him in Requiem and wanted to see more skin - this movie will please you immensely.OK, so I'm saying buy this movie to see Jared Leto bump & grind away in the buff. I think that's hell of a reason. Jared, if you're out there - you are one hotty!

Summary: this adventure is not that good
Review: Jared Leto plays Jack...Jake Gylenhaal plays Pilot and Selma Blair plays Cassie..Leto and Gylenhaal skip town after Leto boffs this Miranda chick and her husband sends out goons after them...though ok in some spots this movie goes into a long era of involving Snakeboys..a crazy drunken Jeremy Piven(why he's in this movie we dont know)...going to a whoreplace and meeting John C. McGinley....the snakeboy is too scary though the premise is great..boffing some rich guys wife and then leaving town..its a good story but then with all of the rest of the stuff we get lost into a pit of spunk and spit out at the end..only the end is good and the actors show their real talents...if you wanna watch this movie..take the train..not the highway

Summary: Confused, and tries too hard.
Review: Solid performance once again by Jake Gyllenhaal, unfortunately the movie tries way too hard to be hard-hitting and meaningfully deep, and ends up instead coming off as overly pretentious and empty. Everything is set to impress the youth of today with extreme coolness, ecstacy, weed, acid, crime and plenty swearing. ...and don't forget about the alligator-boy!??????? I wish I could. (bad bad bad) Anyone who grew up during this period will find blatant inconsistencies.
The movie is, for the majority, set soon before and immediately after the death of Kurt Cobain, yet includes none of Nirvana's music in the soundtrack - it is instead provided by one of the members of the Black Crowes, and is pretty decent. An early 90's Nostalgia / Road trip movie about a couple of Hunter S. Thompson-esque characters which essentially relies on Leto and Gyllenhaal to keep you watching until the end.
John C. McGinley gives an 'interesting' performance as Johnny the Fox.
I would definately strongly recommend hiring instead of buying this movie, if you feel you just have to see it.

Summary: A Funny Surprise...
Review: This is a funny roadtrip movie with drugs, hookers, potheads, and good music. The backdrop of this movie is the death Nirvana's Kurt Kobain. It happens during their roadtrip. Gyllenhall was extremely funny as the druggy pothead type and Leto is funny also. The guy from NBC's Scrub's, John McGinley, almost stole the show. I'll never forget the scene when McGinley and Gyllenhall think they're flying through the cemetary. ... If you like Road Trip movie's, you'll like this one. This movie rocks!

Summary: Rocks.
Review: This is a great movie to watch with your friends. It's hilarious, especially when they visit Skaully's house and Skaully bugs out.. so so funny. Gyllenhal and Leto have a very natural chemistry together. Aside from the foggy story line, it is very true to life. I could picture my friends and I enjoying a road trip much like this one. Definitely invest in this DVD or VHS!
