    "One the Road" review

    I spun this movie on DVD yesterday. Disregard my title above.....It's called "On the road"!!. It stars some notable actresses (K. Dunst and that lead from the Twilight series of films.....forget her name!!?....Stewart??.). Anyway, this film is a dud. Period!. It's goes nowhere right from the start and ends nowhere. Nothing of any real sort happens in this film and it just trudges along......right from the get go.

    It's purely a film about various relationships.....and a road trip that leads to nowhere.

    3/10 stars....blah!

    Dan, I believe you meant ON THE ROAD. It's based on the Jack Kerouac book and yes, it is probably boring. Kerouac was a big name from the Beat Generation. I never could get him.

      Yes you are correct George......"On the Road" is the title (Typo!!). I did watch this film till the end however......not sure why. Normally I turn these films off if nothing of substance has happened by the 45min mark.

        This is a movie about fathers and sons. It's about the relationships between them and the trials they produce. It's about both generations looking at, and in some cases learning more about their children and parents than they
