specvman2003 Let me first start by saying that the story line of this movie is going to appeal mostly to hopeless romantics. It starts out with a man in love who gets hurt and starts a journey only to have to choose between finding himself and what may be the love of his life. I absolutely love the cinematography and is the main reason I watched the movie. The story line was predictable and many have found flaws but, this is entertainment not reality. I thought this was a very well done movie even if predictable. Some may see the ending coming but for others the ending will be a complete surprise and make the movie that much better. I tend to submerse myself in the characters in the movie (unless the movie/acting is just that bad) and thus found the ending a surprise and absolutely hilarious/awesome, making the movie that much better.I cannot recommend this movie enough. However, I would caution that you should not expect an Oscar worthy story line or acting. It will appeal largely to the romantics and the dreamers.
lunaventure I totally understood what the director/producers were trying to do with this film. But most of it was not true to real life. The casting was strange, it seemed they cast two Latin actors and one Latina in the principal roles, and made them out to be from the US and Prague. Where did Connor get all the money to do this traveling? I did allot of adventure travel when I was his age and it's not free! My guess is that they got really good tax credits from Peru, Nicargua, Panama,and Bolivia. Where did the funds come from for this type of film? Not one A list actor. But that's a good thing. I liked the fact that it was not a Hollywood movie. All in all I enjoyed it, and it made me want to travel again.
jok-6 Movie was a little entertaining, but nothing new in it.So... guy who travels... so he travels... and??? NOTHING MORE!!! come on, he does not even makes a lovable character at the end of the movie, in the end you get more interested in other characters - what happened to them, not in him.I didn't even get the idea - what did director wanted to tell us... I guess nothing. Would not watch this movie again, but still if you have nothing to do you could rent it, but I would not recommend you to go and see it in cinema, just not good enough.So I give this movie 5 stars - mediocre. Not bad, but definitely not great also.
devils05 I saw this at the Phoenix Film Festival in April and thought it was great. I didn't know much about it going into the theater but it is really a great story. If you are bitten by the travel bug or lived abroad for any length of time you will definitely relate to the plot as it concerns a young man's journey of self-discovery as he travels throughout south America. Wonderful scenery and some very comic moments which everyone can enjoy, especially if you have traveled to some less then savory cities (hotel bathrooms in Nicaragua were hilarious). There was also a wonderful montage set to Kermit the Frog's "Rainbow Connection", an odd but somehow perfect choice. Befitting the plot, the depth of the characters grew over the course of the movie and the second half seemed better than the first. Fabulous ending as well, which I won't spoil for you. Go see it at a festival near you or when it comes out in theaters in the future!
