The movie just didn't work. Was it the directing, the acting, the dialogue or maybe the entire script? I don't really know, but something didn't work. The characters delivered lines as if being read directly from a page. It seemed that half of the time the dialogue was trying to either explain the plot or teach everyone the meanings of the plot.
All of the actors were attractive, but none of the characters being portrayed seemed like real people. Thus the characters created no feelings or empathy for me, including the 10-year dilemma. And the dilemma, after being mentioned at the beginning of the film, was barely touched upon and seemed to go by the wayside as the movie progressed.
The two lead characters, Myles and Brody, had no real chemistry between themselves throughout the film. So, at the end I was actually hoping that Myles would continue on and get to New York. But, sadly the movie had to have a happy ending between two characters who did not seem to belong together and definitely did not seem to be in love.
I just finished watching another film, Love or Whatever, from 2012 and although it was not an award winner film by far, at least the quirky characters seemed somewhat real and created some feelings for me for them. By the end, I was rooting for a happy ending and hoping the main protagonist would find love.
