Scenic Route (2013)
7/10
TELL ME HOW IT ENDS
2 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Old friends Mitchell (Josh Duhamel) and Carter (Dan Fogler) take a ride cross country, or at least the desert. Carter is a "fat unemployed writer" while Mitchell is successful in finance with a wife and children. Carter pretends his vehicle is disabled (it's a Ford) so they can talk and get re-acquainted. The conversation turns nasty, and worse so when the Mitchell discovers the break down was staged...but then as fate would have it, the truck really breaks down.

Yes, it is a film about two guys in the desert talking about their lives going from exchanging blows to a bromance and back again and so on. There are some dark comedy moments. I wish Zach Galifianakis had played Carter, but then I always say that whenever a fat bearded role appears.

The film had an awkward "Twilight Zone" twist at the end which lacked decent development. Makes for a decent rental.

Parental Guide:F-bomb. Brief sex and nudity (Christie Burson).
