Brent McKnight The Last Thing I See 07/12/2020
B
"High Road" is never going to find mainstream success and acceptance. The acting is too hit-and-miss, and as a whole the movie is too uneven for that to happen. Which is unfortunate because it really is a blast. Go to Full Review

Danika M @RT41813226 08/29/2024 too funny oh my gosh See more 10/08/2019 Funny road movie, sweet and light. See more 12/01/2018 A reasonable easy to watch film. Not one I would want to see again though. See more 10/26/2014 Pretty funny, not really what expected, I didn't have hihg hopes but this certainly took the high road and delived some great laughs and some deeper thoughts at the end as well! See more 07/02/2014 This movie is a slow starter, but if you like awkward, uncomfortable comedy, It's AMAZING!! This is far and beyond a stoner comedy, perfect for college kids and stupid-humor fans. TONS of swearing and awkward, stunted speech, which just adds to the charm of the movie. Dylan O'Brien is perfect as the 16 year old tag-along and James Pumphrey KILLS it as the weird stoner dude. It's not incredibly believable, but it is absolutely hilarious, and has a happy ending. Easily a new favorite. :) See more jesse o @RT12547577 07/27/2013 Get it? The movie's called High Road because the movie involves a stoner who goes on a road trip with a 16 year old kid. Ha ha! The wit! Seriously though, this film isn't bad. It has a good cast and some clever lines, perhaps a little on the inconsistent side, but certainly a more than solid watch. I don't have much to say really, it's a fun little movie if you're looking for something quick that doesn't require too much brainpower to sit through. I think it could've been a little better, it also could've used a little more Ed Helms, whose talents were severely underutilized here. Perhaps Ed Helms being in the movie, if even for 5-10 minutes, helped the movie get some funding and they can also use him for promotional posters to get people familiar with The Office or The Hangover interested in it just because he's in the flick. But, again, while he is an important character in the story of Fitz and Monica, he doesn't get that much screen time, which is unfortunate. As mentioned, the film is pretty good with a talented cast, it could've been much better but I can't complain too much with what I got here. See more Read all reviews
