Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

HermioneJWeasley I'm a fan of Sean Astin's, which was a major reason why I saw this movie. I agree with many of the comments - the movie seemed unbalanced -some scenes were good, some were quite bad, and one was boring (some scenes of Sean Astin's character and his friend, Jason, working, which did not add much to the movie. I thought it had the potential to be a much better movie. The movie seems like it is searching for a plot, but does not quite get there. I liked the bits of philosophy, although they seemed kind of out of place at some times (it was overused in the dialogue at some points) I liked some of the quotes in the movie, and the theme of experiencing something rather than just thinking about it. The scene on the beach with Morgan and his teacher encapsulated this theme of the movie, and which I thought was the best scene in the movie. What disappointed me is the story had potential. There were some likable characters, and there were some humorous lines and moments in the movie.I am so used to seeing Sean Astin play nice guys that the Morgan character was a bit jarring. He is so insensitive to his friend Jason, especially at a scene near the end. Jason is clearly the more mature of the two. Matthew Lillard's character is the most likable and believable character in the movie. He is good - natured and an easygoing guy. In contrast, Sean Astin's character Morgan does show potential of being a nice guy, but he's a very cynical guy who distances himself from women, and doesn't believe in marriage. (a good portion of the movie seems anti - marriage, despite the two marriages in the movie) Some characters (like Mr. Dewitt, Anne's boss) seemed stereotypical and therefore not completely believable. Since Sean Astin and Shannon Elizabeth's character really didn't have enough screen time, there wasn't enough time to develop chemistry. Plus, her character completely disappears for awhile - she is neither seen nor mentioned. The relationship didn't develop enough to be completely believable.I thought Sean Astin did a great job as usual. I wish he was given more to work with.

queen_legolas It isn't a bad movie it's just not a great one. If you don't mind a simple film with nice likable characters then watch it. Its simple but fun when you have nothing else to do.The reason I watched it was because I was a Sean Astin fan. And if you are then it's cool simply because he's in it. Although I was surprised because there is some funny moments and some quite touching moments too which was surprising. And Matthew (Lillard) singing at the end was fantastic.It isn't a fantastic movie but give it a go it might surprise you, just don't expect anything too much.

bubbles_827 Truthfully, I rented this movie expecting to be bored out of my mind and having the only redeeming quality be watching Matt Lillard for two hours, but I was wrong. Matthew Lillard is the cutest philosopher/dishwasher and is accompanied by the non-stop talker Sean Astin. I enjoyed all of their adventures and the exploration of (no, don't say it-) marriage. I'd recommend this movie to anyone in the mood to ooh and aaw over romance (and Matthew Lillard!) They live, they love, they sing-- And boy do they need lessons!

icecoldchild Seen the movie on TV yesterday. And now commenting on it. Well, that's a movie of two genres (so, if you call them genre...): Road-feel good movie. And there's philosophy also. Two friends who love dishwashing. Morgan (Sean Astin), the philosophic one, and Jason (Matthew Lillard-finally a role which made me like him!) the more sweet one, who loves the life&Molly. Well, i don't know if it will show up on video (or it did already), but well, it's kind of movie that you shouldn't buy but you can watch on TV, and enjoy. There are in the way too much chattering of Morgan sometime, but still a real thing to make you watch it: Matt Lillard sings a love song in the end! :)
