Overview
Adam, a 14-year-old boy travels across the country to meet a series of men who could be his father after finding a letter with a list of names and addresses.
This movie is a rather middling entry into the “person goes on a road trip trying to find someone” genre. The ending to the film should have been somewhat obvious when you see what the story emphasized, and what it didn’t. I think the problem with the story is that the journey is told through the eyes of a child. A child would naturally want his parent, and there isn’t really anything beyond that. In a (far superior) movie like Broken Flowers, there is so much more to get into (a lifetime of guilt for bad behavior, the pain that person caused others, etc). Instead, it was really just a road trip movie.
