Craig (Harry Lloyd) is on a car trip. It’s not clear why, where he’s headed, or why he hasn’t told his girlfriend, who’s house-hunting for them across the country. He’s from New Jersey but spends most of the movie in Mississippi, frequently stopping to see roadside attractions. In many ways the movie’s as aimless as Craig’s journey seems to be. Sometimes it’s funny, and sometimes dramatic, but it’s better at establishing personality and mood than suggesting whatever existential dilemma is driving Craig away from his future. He has a few encounters, small and medium-size, with local people that keep the film moving, if not necessarily forward. The quirky locations appealed to me.
