This film was very well made considering the its seemingly low budget roots. The subject and story worked very well together and keep up a steady pace throughout the story. The star role was lead by Ben Estrada who is a natural in front of the camera and shined in this documentary type role. His pal Cody seems at first to be a mild mannered friend not anything like the wild and outrageous Ben. But gradually he shows that they are much alike and they play off each others whims. The pit stops and side stories along there journey keep the viewer guessing whats going to happen next. It left me inspired and reminded me that anything you put you mind to can be achieved. I recommend this film to anyone with adventurous tendencies.

road trip from California to Florida with Merlin
joannahudson200517 April 2006
I enjoyed the story line and the way it all came together; I went to the premier on April 7th, 2006 the pacific theater in Hollywood, Ca. The place was packed and everyone was laughing their heads off. It was good clean fun; friends backing each other up; the movie was heartfelt with a kick of jest and reality. i had a tear in my eye when Merlin returned to the swamp. I can't wait to share the viewing experience with other friends and family. I hold high hopes for these two young film makers, i can't wait to see what they come up with next. I think some out-takes would be great i am sure that the filmmakers left many great moments on the cutting room floor.
