Storyline

On the eve of his anniversary, BRANDON discovers his wife is having an affair. Rather than confront her, he invites his childhood best friend, DAN, to join him on the prepaid trip to Thailand that he intended to surprise her with as a gift. Brandon laments to his friend that though he doesn't want to get a divorce, he isn't sure how or if he can save his marriage. Once in Thailand, the pair go on a series of excursions and tours intended for a happy second-honeymooning couple. As they travel through beautiful caves and epic vistas, we discover Brandon and Dan's friendship is potentially as strained as Brandon's marriage. Throughout their brief three day trip, they encounter a series of eclectic, and often eccentric characters who unravel Brandon's meticulous plans and show him that there is more than one way to do happy and live life to the fullest.

User Reviews

A good road trip buddy film. With good lessons on caring.

First, I want to say that I think most of the review are pretty harsh. I think alot of these reviewers hate Seth Green, so I think there is a great deal of bias. This is a small film and I'm a small film lover. This film has an amazing backdrop and a great cast. I think this is a odd movie in that it's probably one of the few buddy films made to connect with guys on a totally new level. This movie is about friendships and about deciding and fighting for what you want. This movie is not about drama or answers it's about not just letting life happen to you. I'm a male, if bonding and real friendship goes no further than getting drunk and talking about pu--y. Then this film is not for you, you will hate it. It reminded me of another small film of just life "The Great &the Small". I think this film showcases friendships. I think there is a small community of us who feel fortunate to have this in their life.
