Wholesome and funny; one of the rare times I wished a film was longer.
Zack and Shia have excellent chemistry, and that's what makes this work so well. This has a very successful balance of raw, honest dialogue with completely fantastical events. Moments like Zack telling Tyler about his coach ground the story, and you don't question things like how they built such a good raft.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A warm-hearted road movie about an unlikely friendship between two misfits chasing a dream against the odds. It's funny and tender in equal measure, with genuine heart beneath its scrappy Southern charm.
