I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

The film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

This was a very down to earth film about young guys who grew up together and did just about anything to have fun and get HIGH. The photography through out Las Vegas, Northern California and Seattle was outstanding. Jared Leto,(Jack Hayes),"Panic Room",'02, made a big mistake and made love to the wrong over sexed older woman who even complained about his performance and her husband had other ideas what should be done to solve the problem. Jake Gyllenhaal,(Pilot Kelson),"The Good Girl",'02, gave an outstanding supporting role and was a very close buddy to Jack Hayes. Jake and Jack decided to drift off to Seattle and on the Highway ran into a hot and sexy Selma Blair,(Cassie),"Legally Bonde",'01. Jake tells a story about how his mother gave him the name of Pilot and how he is searching for the true love of his life in Seattle. All the actors in this picture did a fantastic job of performing their difficult roles in this picture and created a very entertaining ride on a long highway.

i don't know what everyone's complaining about, a funny movie with pretty people...works for me. but i think i know a bit...lots of people who watched this have seen two movies they think are great;it won't give you spiritual awakenings like donnie darko, it's not as dramatic as requeim for a dream.thankfully. somebody's even complaining about 'happy ending'...pfft.i give it a seven just to promote a rare modern movie that doesn't make me puke with music video cuts and dramatic substance for once.plus i can't recollect seeing a movie that would (even slightly) use the times of grunge as it's background.

Maybe it's me, but I really didn't understand this movie at all. For a minute it seemed like a comedy then it crosses over to drama. I got so bored with it that I almost completely forgot what this was about, Selma Blair(Kill Me Later, Hellboy) was surprisingly bland along w/ Jared Leto and that dude from "The Day After Tomorrow" - it felt like all the talent was completely wasted as well as film time. I couldn't really relate to what was going on throughout the movie and the cinematography was pretty dry.4/10 - don't like it, not my kind of movie - wouldn't say it was the worst though

It starts out with Pilot (Jake Gyllenhaal) pretending to be a valet to steal a car to give his pseudo-girlfriend Lucy (Arden Myrin) a ride to work. Next we see Jake (Jared Leto) playing out a sex fantasy with a Vegas Thug's wife. Both characters look exactly the same as children and as adults, which I find odd. I guess it is to inform the watchers that they are in fact the same people. As Pilot and Jake leave are leaving town after finding out that they are being followed by the thug's' goons, they meet up with a variety of people and situations. Jeremy Piven shines as Pilots drug dealer and provides a much needed comic relief. The movie moves very quickly and there is never a dull moment. As most movies that deal with road trips, the boys learn some valuable lessons about themselves and life in general. Most importantly that `You cannot run away from weakness; you must some time fight it out or perish; and if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?' Robert Louis Stevenson; but at the same time, life is also in the journey. Taking it as it comes and doing the best we can. As long as we are true to ourselves everything else will fall into place. In this crazy world that's the only thing that we can depend on
things not working out the way we expect.
