Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaColee talks of how T.K. and his fiancée should experiment sexually, 'by having another man with her while T.K. watches'. Later on in the film, Cheaver (accidentally) puts himself in exactly that position (having sex with a woman just as her husband enters the room).
- GoofsWhen TK is at the airport bar in Las Vegas the bartender refills his old fashioned glass with a (generous) shot of tequila. She fills the glass almost halfway full. He takes a slug from the glass and puts it down but in the next shot it's more than half full.

Featured review
And then what happened? Decent Iraq war-themed road trip
This was a great "slice-of-life" movie which joins three very different U.S. soldiers who find themselves on an unplanned road trip together. Michael Peña, Rachel McAdams and Tim Robbins arrive in New York from Germany only to find their connecting flights cancelled due to a power outage. Anxious to get to their destinations, they agree to share a rented minivan, subsequently forming a deep bond that may be the closest thing any of them has to real family.
A bit slow moving but gets better as you slowly find out details about the characters lives. Some of the situations they find themselves in are a bit contrived but I still found myself invested in all three characters and laughed many times. I appreciated the immediate friendship and camaraderie they found together. Rachel McAdams was very good here.
At the end I wanted more, and had the thought; and then what happened? Which to me is the sign of a good story. 02.13
