Open Road

Slow and Light... but an Okay Family-Friendly Coming of Age Film
There are moments in life when we all feel the need to embark upon a quest. Sometimes we run from something, and sometimes we run toward the goal post. When that journey happens early, it can certainly provide the necessary backdrop for a coming-of-age tale.

Even with top actors like Andy Garcia, Juliette Lewis and Camilla Belle, I didn't expect much from the Open Road and its $3 Million budget. But I am a father, and as such, the plot of a daughter taking to the road to track down an estranged father that abandoned the family... well, it resonated with me. So, while I knew this was a "chick-flick," I welcomed the intensity break after having watched a spate of high-octane Sci-fi/Horror films.

Overall, while the pacing was a tad slow, the "Open Road" was a feel good, family-friendly ride. Angie (played by the attractive Camilla Belle) is trying to deal with the emotional hurt from her father leaving, and needs to reconcile these events before her life can return...

This was surprisingly good!
Hadn't heard anything about the movie, but really enjoyed it!
Excellent acting! Anything Colin Egglesfield and Andy Garcia appear in
is excellent.

It's a good movie about finding yourself and doing it on purpose, very predictable yet charming great cast and good chemistry.
