It rambles but it doesn't go anywhere

Some films are slow, others a just a big non--event.

Ramblers, is the latter, as two twenty-something men who don't know one another, end up bumming about some village in the Japanese countryside after their common friend couldn't be bothered to show up.

And with these two to keep him company, who can blame the man?

To be honest, the 20 minutes I lasted had already stretched my patience to the point of holding down the FF button between all those long, dull, nothing happens aside from the two leads' faces staring off on-screen shots, and I can only recommend that whoever reads this checks out something else instead.
