Robert DeNiro flexes his comedy muscles here with successful effect for one of the first times in his career in this largely entertaining road movie. The film still holds up pretty well today and is well written , the bickering and bantering between DeNiro and Charles Grodin is very amusing as they make their way across the country. I think it's a bit overlong and would have been a better film with a tighter edit but overall it's good fun.

This is Adam Sandler's best performace of his whole career, thats saying alot because personally i dont like him as a actor and hate his comedy, but i like his drama roles because their are so different from his comedy roles. His drama roles are not with his best friends and just not taking a anethor vaction/road trip.

The Plot: A charismatic jeweler makes a high-stakes bet that could lead to the windfall of a lifetime. In a precarious high-wire act, he must balance business, family and adversaries on all sides in pursuit of the ultimate win.

The whole cast in this movie are excellent and fantasic and outstanding.

A must watch if you havent seen it yet.

Dead End- is a funny movie, i dont think it was meant to be funny, but some of the comedy comes out of nowhere. Its a excellent horror movie as well.

The Plot: When a family en route to a Christmas Eve gathering decides to takes a shortcut down a wooded road, an eerie sequence of events signals trouble ahead. After nearly colliding with an oncoming car, father Frank (Ray Wise) picks up a ghostly hitchhiker (Amber Smith) and her infant child. With the sudden appearance of their new passengers, the route becomes dark and treacherous -- and the family's numbers rapidly begin to dwindle in a series of seemingly connected, grisly roadside accidents.

Its a excellent horror flick.

I like road trip films. Spot on review. First time I watched it, it came on like a fever dream and although not a perfect film by any standards, it did pull me in. Repeated viewings have been just as enjoyable. Certainly better than most of the pish that was around at this time. At least it tries to do something different.

Amazing
If you like your books with a sassy heroine, brooding hero and awesome side characters that will take you on a roller coaster of emotion then this is the book of you.
Hype is a pro at the sarcastic witty and insane characters but this book she has delved further to bring you a laugh out loud comedy packed with action and all the feels.
Join Blake and CJ on their road from casual acquaintances to learning to accept who they are and who they need

I quite enjoy films about a totally weird string of events that occur during a road trip or one wild night like this. This reminded me of After hours crossed with Dude where's my car? A stoner comedy that has a bit of something for most people and a good chemistry between the leads. It has a few good cast cameos too. Funny enough for a watch, not sure about being a classic. Oh and over here (UK) it's called Harold and Kumar get the munchies!
