The Real Review

Most people liked this road trip comedy starring Ebon Moss-Bachrach and Jon Bernthal as two friends on a chaotic work trip. The humor lands brilliantly, but the story itself is where it loses people, feeling thin and predictable despite the funny moments. The character of Gary is divisive, with some finding him a highlight and others a grating plot device, though the small-town locals, like Marin Ireland's Sherri, get universal praise. It's a funny hangout movie that doesn't quite stick the landing.
