Product Description

Mark (John C. McGinley: "Scrubs", Platoon), McGriff (D.B. Sweeney: The Cutting edge, Fire in the Sky) and Jason (Paul Hipp: Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil) are three high-school buddies whose glory days are long gone and who are still stuck in their small Pennsylvania hometown. To break free and escape their much-too-ordinary lives, they embark on a cross-country road trip to the College Football Championship Bowl. The journey takes them through hilarious twists and turns, boozing and misbehaving every step of the way. Throughout the wild adventure, they discover the most important thing in this crazy, uncertain world is friendship.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Film, May 23, 2008

By	Neil G. Giuntoli (Chicago, IL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a gem of a film, directed and written with heart and truth, at times it brought tears to my eyes, and in the next scene, made me laugh, as I have done much the same as the characters so deftly drawn by D.B. Sweeney. Anytime, an actor can take both sides of the camera, and craft a film so entertaining and rich, this is a film and director to be noted.
Though the film concentrates on the three buddie's embraked on a life changing road trip, it is also noteworthy for the fact, that finally a director has given the veteran actor John McGinley the starring role he has so richly deserved after many many films. John's performance is bravura, going from alpha male bravado to being absolutely cratered as he realizes what is important in life, which is this: the friends we keep are the "family" we lean on. That is a universal theme that bears truth. Five Stars, you won't be disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Scrumptrulescent!, July 30, 2008

By	Joseph P. Baes "RacerPig" (Iraq) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Not only is DB Sweeney a Great Actor, Great American (he sent me coffee while I was in Iraq), OK guitar player, but he has done an awesome job directing this one. I want to thank him for coming to Iraq to show us this movie. I pre-ordered it from Amazon, received it on July 22nd here in Iraq and have watched it three times already. I have caught something new each time I watched it. We were laughing through some of the parts I missed the first time, then I watched it with headphones the second time.
It has a true story line, not a Hollywood story line and great music (well except when he butchered Blue Collar Man, a Styx song).
I highly recommend this movie, it will be one I watch again and again.
