The greatest ever road trip book
Kerouac met a girl who he fell in love with who asked him what he'd been doing so he taped sheets of paper together and wrote this is one long sitting. It remains one of the greatest books written in the modern era.

Excellent, but hasn't aged well.
Not one of John Cleese's best films, but a good one nonetheless.

Clockwise is a very typical road-trip comedy, but from before everybody was doing it.

The plot can be summed up as A-B, hijinx along the way etc., as I said: very typical. But as this is John Cleese it stands apart from the typical road trip comedy, with classic British humour (not for everyone, but I love it), and a protagonist not unlike Cleese's Basil Fawlty character.

Unfortunately the film hasn't aged well, most of the predicaments could be easily solved with modern technology, and the film certainly shows its age.
