Storyline
In L.A., Flynn Parker loses his health-inspector job when his time in prison comes to light, his girlfriend Maggie moves out because of his prevarications, and his ne'er-do-well father Nat summons him to Atlantic City with a malignant-cancer tale. Flynn doesn't like Nat, a small-time hustler--and the cause of Flynn's jail time--but Nat cajoles his son into a cross-country trip through family memories toward New Mexico, where an experimental treatment awaits. The trip is not just about the past, but about whether either can tell the truth--then what to do with those truths. From time to time, Flynn calls Maggie to leave messages. And what about Flynn's mother? —<jhailey@hotmail.com>

- Quotes
Nat Parker: The fact is, I don't want you to do this. I need you to. I need to make things copacetic between us. I know I've been a terrible father. It's not a thing I can ignore. Sometimes for no particular reason, life falls off and knocks you flat. Slams you so hard against the wind, you think that all your insides are busted. But if you look for something to replace what's broken, if you're luck, you can find it.
[looks at his son]
Nat Parker: You're all I have.

perfectly fine for fun
there isn't really much to say about this movie. the other reviewers have said about all that can be said. BUT i do not understand nor agree with the more negative reviews.
this story is nicely told and at times very funny and thoughtful. there are implausible and plausible situations these two cross country travelers find themselves or rather 'get' themselves into. the dialog and character development are adequate and easy to follow. in other words it's an easy light hearted story that is strictly for entertaining you. not deep thinking or symbolism.
this is an excellent choice for easy entertainment and having a few laffs along the way! give it a look - you'll like it.
