K, guys. Let's go.
The Go-Getter. One of my favorite films. Kinda a classic decent-but-really-great movie, ya know? Anyway. It's about a guy whose mother has died, and so, in something like a pre-mid-life-crisis, steals a car in search of his long-disconnected brother, in something between seeking to tell him the news, reunite with him, and change his life a bit. It's just kinda about the adventure on the way, and the final outcome. All in all, it's interesting, fun, and relatable. Lots of deepness and whatnot, but these things are best left to seeing the film, not reading a crappy review.
Now, specifics. Cinematography is pretty nice. Shiny-glowing, like a sunset mixed with Moonrise Kingdom (in mood. Not Wes cinematography). Soundtrack is amazing: Black Keys, M. Ward, more amazing artists. No complaint there, even in the songs I might not listen to on a daily basis… In context to the film, they work brilliantly. Acting's great (Zoe Deschanel, c'mon. Don't know if I spelled that correctly, no internet, don't really care. Lots of other actors in their earlier roots. So great).
Not much else I can really say about it. Be warned, it's (probably) rated R for a reason. Just see it, it'll give you that nice just-slightly-unsettled-but-in-a-good-sunny-kinda-happy-way feeling. A bit like Moonrise Kingdom, in that respect. Watch it.
Trailer doesn't do it justice, nor portrays it quite in the right light.
