Patrick Wilson leads the fast paced free-for-all film Stretch where a limo driver takes on an outrageous fare to attempt to earn enough money to keep his bookies at bay.
Known as Stretch, Patrick Wilson's character is not charming nor is he wealthy. Stretch is having a horrible week. Dumped mid-coitus by his girlfriend only to later be pursued by bookies for the full sum of his debts and failing miserably as an actor in Los Angeles. Stretch is wearing thin as he even fails as a limo driver when the competition known as the Jovi steals his fares and an ex-driver who committed suicide comes to him in times of duress.
The car service company's dispatcher, Charlie played by Jessica Alba, helps Stretch out in his desperate attempt to earn $6000 in 24hours and hooks Stretch up with an eccentric client Roger Karos known to be a megatipper. Little does Stretch know the chaos and mayhem he has in store for himself driving Karos around town for dubious and illicit exploits.
Joe Carnahan writes and directs the film and utilizes every humorously heinous plight in the book, including ridiculous cameos. The movie Stretch is a fun and entertaining ride. Debaucherous and outrageous events unfold as Wilson's character drives the young playboy around town. Fans of the film Crank and The Hangover will enjoy Stretch as it basically mimics the formula of its predecessors.
While the exploits endured by Stretch and the character himself is moderately original, thanks in part to the corporeal conscience played by Ed Helms and Patrick Wilson himself, much of the film is stale and haphazard. Having seen the Red Band trailer prior to the film it had the exact same effect as watching the film but in about a hundredth of the time.
