Overview

Wyatt Smith is a janitor with a mullet hairdo, acid-washed jeans and a dream to find the parents that he lost at the Grand Canyon when he was a belligerent, trailer park-raised eight-year-old. Now, blasting Van Halen in his jacked-up economy car, the irrepressibly optimistic Wyatt hits the road alone in search of his Benjamin Sears.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A good-hearted underdog odyssey that balances slapstick goofiness with genuine longing, following a deliberately uncool guy searching for belonging across America. It's a road movie that finds pathos in lowbrow humor without losing its essential warmth.
