Didn't like the movie but loved one brief scene


The story was crappy (the two brothers based on the real life McCormack Brothers?)and if you watch for the cycling that a disappointment too.

However, one part was totally awesome when Sarah, Marcus's girlfriend (Rae Dawn Chong) jumped out of the van and changed his rear wheel in 20 seconds. No trick camera work, just on complete shot showing that she actually did it herself.

Sorry, that's all I liked about this movie.

Why do my favorite movies feature men who live alone?

What about the ketchup scene in the van? Hahaha. And the music?

And the line, "You can't be sick! Look at you.. you've got a mustache and everything."

The wheel changing part was awesome. Oddly enough, it was the one instance in which the film didn't try to make a big deal out of something.
