A good movie

I wasn’t really sure what to expect from this flick but, since there was a nice cast involved, I thought I might as well check it out. During the last 15 years, Shia LaBeouf has been threatened to get cancelled so many times by now.  And yet, it’s quite interesting to me that even if he is not super productive, he keeps showing up in movies and most of them are actually intriguing. This movie is a perfect example. Indeed, I really loved the title and even if it was nothing really ground-breaking, I thought I was not bad at all after all. Usually, I don’t like much road trips because I believe it is a really lazy writing gimmick but, for once, it actually did work here. Indeed, I believe that it was never really about the journey made by these characters but about having them hanging out together and I really liked this approach. Furthermore, you can say whatever about Shia LaBeouf but the guy is actually quite charismatic and he is always pretty good playing such unhinged lost wounded souls. Zack Gottsagen was also pretty good and they had  some solid chemistry together. The only thing that didn’t really work for me was the romance at the end involving Tyler and Eleanor. Indeed, it was rather predictable and, as far as I was concerned, above all rather unnecessary. Sure, Dakota Johnson was charming as usual and she was not bad but, in my opinion, this movie was really about Zak and Tyler and they actually struggled to include her so they pretty much forced this romance to happen. Anyway, to conclude, even if it was nothing really amazing, it turned out to be a decent watch after all and I think it is worth a look if you like the genre.
