This was and is one of the worst kid's movies I have ever seen. It was a pathetic attempt to capture my attention for an hour and a half, but it failed miserably. If you give this movie anything about a 3, you should be banned from the IMDB site for misleading the readers. Every single thing was predictable, no action or excitement whatsoever. There actually came to a point where I was guessing not only what was going to happen next, but exact lines of dialog and what they were going to do etc. WARNING: Do not waste 90 minutes of your life on the dog. One of the worst things I have seen in I can't remember when. I could go on forever about this, but I am going to go get shock treatment to help me forget about it. The Olsens were just plain awful in this film. They're not New Yorkers and I have to agree with everyone with saying that the accent just didn't cut it. Their acting was really bad and since their performance wasn't up to standards, I'm glad that her role wasn't any bigger. It seems that a lot of people dislike this movie because they think it is unrealistic, or because they don't care about the characters. I think this just goes to show how self-involved and classist a lot of Americans are at the moment.It seems that a lot of people dislike this movie because they think it is unrealistic, or because they don't care about the characters.

Anyone who thinks that the "wild and crazy" events that go on in this movie couldn't happen outside of the Olsen movies, would are totally and 100% correct. Who in hell would let their teenage daughters go on a road trip with their boyfriends to the Olymics? And then, when their car is stolen, they just buy them plane tickets. The two teenagers are both stupid spoiled brats who get everything they want. The writer doesn't even give his characters brains or anything. Yeah, it might be a teenage stereotype, but it's one that is also incredibly untrue. You'll probably enjoy this movie if you can relate to any of the situations in the film. If you approach this film with that mindset and without judgment about spoiled brats who get everything they want, this film will make you both laugh and wince because it does, at times, feel more unrealistic than a fairy tale. An "Olsen" film that, from the back of the box, promises twists, adventure and fun we will never forget. This film also fools us into watching it by flaunting the Olsens with starring roles. After the first twenty minutes, you realize that this movie is going to give you NOTHING. The story goes on aimlessly, revealing nothing new or important to keep us interested. All " typical teenager" characters have only small grains of back story to force us to care. Just as you reach the end, everything about the story is altered and instead of helping the audience catch up, you are left with no idea, and more importantly, no interest in "why". The director, who also thought it would be a good idea to co-star, seems to come into the film with no prior experience or knowledge of useful film making. The entire piece looks like a college film crafted by a freshman film student trying to hide a lack of true talent. Pretty dreadful movie about several unbalanced young people going on a road trip starts off reasonably well but becomes more bizarre and hard to swallow as it progresses. This film has no point, unless that is its point. Additionally, it is rather contrived, like a cheesy Olsen film that starts out one way and ends up another. The main characters have nothing in common, presumably, when in fact they do. There is few young males, and 4 young females, each trying to find something by going on a road trip, and that brings them together in an odyssey. The title seems intentionally misleading, unless as a synonym for an onslaught. They all appear to come from different places. That's what we are led to believe.
The story gets stranger and more bizarre as it goes - more than one is not quite right in the head. Sometimes the camera is just shooting pictures of telephone poles and wires, or other spurious details of passing along on a trip to nowhere in particular. The girls have a fancy new car but no money. As her judgement begins to deteriorate more profoundly, her three companions seem to grasp for some control of their destiny. Then the whole story, well, you will have to see it. The line between fantasy and reality is very blurred, and there is a purposelessness to the story. The ending fails to tie us back meaningfully to the beginning. It pretends to give us hope, but more like a wish, a dream, or something hallucinated by a dissociated, childlike mind. This is a film more difficult to ignore than to praise. 0/10.
