Trivia

There is a scene in the film in which Nat explains to Richard that there are in fact more Fast and Furious movies than just the first three. Richard is stunned by this news and is very excited to hear that Dwayne Johnson is on the films and that Paul Walker passed away while making the seventh one. This scene is in opposition to real life in which Jason Mantzoukas (Richard) co-hosts a podcast called "How Did This Get Made?", on which he and his co-hosts have talked about each Fast and Furious movie as they come out in theaters, with all of them saying that they haven't seen any of the films before the fifth one.

User Reviews

Life long experience through a whole lot of messed up Road trip.

First ,, don't know if you guys know Jason Mantzoukas or watched him on something before ,, but i first saw him in "The League" on FX as Rafi and then partially on "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" ,, the guy is genius in this type of comedy,, the type where he act like the guy who doesn't give an F, and just move dragging a lot of messed up issues ,, This movie again he was the same ,, he was hilarious and goodhearted at the end ,,

The movie itself was good ,, was properly written, the script looked well done and the plot even though lacks a bit of genuinity, yet it showed dependency and the flawless, quick and easily followable scenario.

The cast, Jason Mantzoukas did really amazing ,, Tony Revolori (the boy from The Grand Budapest Hotel :D) was coo too.

The movie might not be a top boxoffice ranked but it was really good and with a bit of marketing it might do well for the rest of the year ... So recommended .
