The CinePearl Take
Robert Sheehan delivers a surprisingly nuanced turn as the quick‑tempered, Tourette‑ridden Drew, grounding the film’s more whimsical moments. Gren Wells keeps the pacing brisk enough to sustain the road‑trip energy while allowing quieter scenes to breathe, highlighting the characters’ internal battles. The trio’s evolving bond feels earned, making the climax both uplifting and bittersweet.
