"The Long Dumb Road"

I love road movies, especially offbeat ones like this. A young, straight-laced kid, played by Tony Revolori, is on his way to L.A. to art school when his car breaks down. A middle-aged drug and alcohol fueled hippie/mechanic (Jason Mantzoukas) comes to the rescue, and joins him on his journey. The two of them encounter all sorts of adventures on their way, and I found it refreshing that nothing that happened was over the top. So many of these movies take things to absurd and unbelievable extremes. In the end, this is just a warm-hearted, comedic romp that I didn't want to end.
4 out of 5 stars
