Detours

Detours is a pleasant chic flick. My wife laughed and choked up at the touching scenes.

We both thought it had potential to be much more but the terrible direction spoiled it. Characters were constantly saying their lines as if they were reading a chart at the eye doctor. Dan's inflections seemed like he was in a different movie. He often smiled for no reason. Same for all the other characters that popped up The cop, the boyfriend, the girlfriends all were monotone, without energy or context.

It was Tara Westwood that kept us interested. She was funny and charming and sexy.
