This movie is absolutely ridiculous, random and - ultimately - confusing. Although the acting was reasonable, the film's genre alluded me: was it a musical, romance, comedy, adventure? It attempts to cross all these areas, but fails and becomes scattered and hap-hazard. Then there's the plot (or lack of!): is it about getting the girl? Defying people's expectations of you? A road trip? Getting home? Self-discovery? The film's lack of purpose leaves the viewer confused and lost, and the obviously recorded then synchronized songs don't help. And the ending!! It has to be the most laughable, you've-got-to-be-kidding-me closing scene I've ever seen: twist after twist after stupid, ridiculous twist. In conclusion, I'd recommend watching this movie if and only if you are incredibly bored, don't mind your intelligence being insulted, and want a good laugh at how hopeless the characters and plot are.
