Movie Reviews

Boring, flat, uninteresting.

Here we go again with the biased reviews from people that will only review one movie in their entire IMDb career, friends of friends from the cast or somebody else that worked on the movie, in other words fake reviews. Detours isn't that good, it's mediocre at best. It started a tiny bit interesting but you realize pretty soon this is going nowhere, or at least nothing interesting anymore. The acting is obviously from people with no experience at all, none of them will ever win an Oscar, I can guarantee you that. The cinematography wasn't really great either, it looked amateuristic but it's passable. The story is just too slow and boring, and by the end you just wonder why they make a movie like this one. There are good indies but this one isn't one of them.

A wonderful, heart-wrenching, touching and funny ride!

I saw "Detours" at the Long Island International Film Expo along with two short films. While I enjoyed the shorts, I was blown away by "Detours". It's one of those films that hook you from the beginning and make you feel like you're a part of it, as if you're sharing a living room, kitchen, car adventure or meal with the players.I'd seen Tara Westwood in "Surviving Family" and loved her performance there, but she won me over even more so in "Detours". Though her character's trials & tribulations here weren't things I have exactly been though, her performance made me feel her angst as well as her jubilation.Her dad, played by Carlo Fiorletta, was both sympathetic and funny as hell. His humor, though, would come out of nowhere and be understated, making situations even funnier. In the end, though, it was his character's relationship with Westwood's that "made" the film. It was like they were real-life father & daughter (they're not).I'm hopeful that there will be a sequel, because this is one family, albeit a two-person one, with whom I've love to spend more tears & laughs.

Almost nice

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.
