The Art of Travel Audience Reviews

LouHomey From my favorite movies..
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
AshUnow This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
maryronetteortiz "The art of travel is to deviate from the current plan."If you are fond of travelling or just fond of watching travel shows, This movie is for you. Art of Travel showcases the glorious and at the same time the lowly side of the places they've been through especially the one set in Nicaragua. What I love about this movie was the good cinematography. It captures the beautiful scenery and the culture of the tribes as well.My favorite destination was Machu Piccu. This movie reminded me why Peru was my dream destination. I also loved the well-known wedding scene.I actually saw a video clip on facebook with the caption " the perfect way to get back on your cheating girlfriend". I love how it can make me smile at times. That's why I liked the ending.There are some drawbacks that I noticed in the movie. The cinematography was good;however, one must not expect highly on the resolution because some of the scenes seems to look like it was taken from a video home camera. I also did not find any chemistry between the main character's love interest namely Anna. The plot for me, was draggy,predictable, and will make you feel bored at times. The flow was not clear.It even have some lapses. There are a lot of dead pauses and black screens. Overall, Art of Travel is a good movie for all ye who wanderlust.Or just love the being one with the view. 6.3/10
Amy Adler At eighteen, Connor (Christopher Masterson) is set on marrying the lady of his dreams. No matter that most couples of the modern age wait considerably longer before taking the plunge. His heart is decidedly taken. Except, things change. Just hours before the ceremony, Connor finds out how treacherous his fiancé has been. Therefore, at the actual wedding, he "outs" her in front of the world and walks out to a new beginning. But, what shall he do, he is supposed to begin college? Scratching that, he embarks on a journey south, first to Mexico, where he scores to nice female roommates for a spell. Then, its on a journey through the Latin American rain forest with an odd group of characters hoping to set a time record through the terrain. There are many hazards in such a trip and Connor's eyes are firmly opened to adult matters. In fact, he falls for a much older woman of the group, Angelika, and they continue on the way to Machu Pichu. Will this happiness last? Alas, maybe not, but it certainly is lovely while it endures! This unusual film is breathtakingly beautiful in scenery. Maybe the travel companies should show it at seminars everywhere for it will make folks rush to the ticket booth. The scenes in Machu are especially gorgeous. The actors, who include Brooke Burke, do fine work and the script and direction merit big points for originality and quality. Is this the weekend that circumstances have dictated that you host a stay-cation at home? This movie will allow you to travel far beyond your usual surroundings.
mustangboy66 I was hoping to like this movie more but ultimately I just couldn't. The issue I have is that it doesn't really speak to me, to who I am. I realize that the main character is quite a bit younger than I am, but I can't remember a time past the age of 14 when I would have rather done anything by myself than with a woman who I was in love with. So I had no chance of identifying with this character, or even living his life vicariously. I thought to myself-I'll go to Prague with you!!! And that's where I wanted the movie to go. But no, it followed a typical American TV movie theme to a kind of surprise ending involving a lame practical joke, leaving me feeling happy only that I didn't have to watch it with 20 horrible cell phone and lite beer commercials mixed in carelessly. One of my favorite stories is that of Robin Lee Graham who at 16 set off to sail around the world, and eventually meets the woman he marries. I read that book at age 12, and then again at age 16. By the second reading, I realized how much more powerful the story is BECAUSE of Patti(his wife). That's what I wanted from this movie. That's not what I got.
Nick Zbu Trite. Clichéd. Awful. And this ignores the film is written as some wish fulfillment fantasy. Ignoring the strangeness of the main character as some bland and psychotic looking teenager who decides to get drunk and travel anywhere--literally, anywhere--after his failed wedding (to lose his virginity, nevertheless), the audience is subjected to a pointless movie that flip-flops between numerous clichés and blatant ripoff of more superior films.The acting is poor, the script is poor, and the film work is done completely on digital video which makes it look even cheesier than it is. There's no idea of a plot, dramatic elements, or anything to keep your interest. On top of that, the film actually ends twenty minutes before the movie stops. The jokes fall flat (especially the ending one), and it's simply a waste of time. This will be the longest hour and a half of your life, and you will not get it back.Previous arguments about the main character being an irresponsible man-child is dead-on accurate. I suspect the movie was financed so the director and actors could have an 'adventurous' vacation and make a movie while they were at it. I hope they had a good time because the 'movie' they made is more boring than a fistful of slides narrated by your monotone aunt. No wonder it went direct-to-DVD.
