Synopsis

James invites his three closest friends to join him on a road trip to his favorite place in the world. Like many group holidays, however, the undertaking proves fraught with practical difficulties. Surreal encounters and emotionally ravaging revelations result in funny and unpredictable situations, leaving an enduring sense of the courage and the dignity to be found in James, and the beauty to be found in the friendship between him and the three other men. –São Paulo International Film Festival

I woke up New Years Day 2013, looking for something chewy. This was it. A perfect road trip movie: there is a devastatingly real distance between where these four guys start and their final destination. Simply shot, imperfect, w/ lapses of shaky camera work. But it doesn't matter. The last 30 minutes crushed my heart. Sherlock's Cumberbatch is the center, but JJ Feild as Miles plays the rock in this ensemble.

Oh My.. i'm getting envious to see that kind of bromanceship... One of Cumberbatch's monumental role.

I had doubts about this film but they were soon dashed. An odyssey of adventure peril, strength and courage. The director, Hattie Dalton, has given the film a masterly, light touch combining humour and anger to what is a taboo subject in our current times. Well worth a viewing.
