Yes, the story is hackneyed and cliche', but the actors managed to bring some humanity to a truly awful script. I say, keep the actors, but give the story more soul. One part Easy Rider, one part Motorcycle Diaries, a dash of Into the Wild, and more than a tablespoon of David Attenborough, and you have a classic. Instead, it's a mildly enjoyable DVD that can be pulled out every three years to look for continuity errors. (Enjoyed your critique, by the way). Mark KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
