Movie Reviews of The Open Road
Movie Review: Boy does he know what he's doing....
Summary: 5 Stars
Nearly everyone loves Jeff Bridges & Mary Steenburgen - of course - always - they are simply wonderful. Justin Timberlake, however, is sneaking up on super stardom a subtle way. If you'll really watch him in this movie, and in Black Snake Moan, you'll get it. He's chosen parts (or someone has brilliantly cast him and he accepted the parts) opposite Jeff Bridges and Mary Steenburgen in this movie, Samuel L. Jackson and Christina Ricci in Black Snake Moan...to really show his stuff - just, wow. I was never a big fan of his music (too old), but he is just wonderful as an actor. And Kate Mara - the perfect compliment here. Thank goodness for Netflix for recommending movies for me to watch....otherwise I would've missed this one...so glad I didn't. It's listed as a comedy on Netflix, but really isn't - it's a touching story, romantic drama I guess, humor interjected along the way...surprising. I'm buying my own DVD now. Enjoy.
Summary of The Open Road
In this heartwarming comedy, minor leaguer Carlton Garrett (Justin Timberlake) takes an unexpected road trip to track down his estranged father, legendary baseball player Kyle Garrett (Jeff Bridges) when Carlton?s mother (Mary Steenburgen) becomes sick. Knowing his charming yet painfully immature dad?s likelihood to disappoint, Carlton enlists his on-again-off-again girlfriend Lucy (Kate Mara) for emotional support. Once reunited, Carlton struggles to deal with the series of misadventures caused by his father?s antics, including missed flights, car trouble and bathroom brawls. Years of miscommunication, frustration and comically awkward attempts at bonding come to a head as the mismatched trio make their way from Ohio back home to Houston to reunite the family.Similar DVD Movies
