Wow, this got two five star reviews already?
Possibly one of the worst movies I've seen in a long while.
From the flaky storyline to the plethora of continuity gaffes, it really did nothing for me.
It's a fairly typical road-movie - two people who aren't going to get on, stuck in a car for a prolonged period of time and guess what.....hilarious things happen. Clearly, I missed them if they did. With Jon Heder in the cast and the occasionally excellent Rutger Hauer, I thought this had some potential but chunks of the story just didn't make sense. There was a totally superfluous dream-sequence which kept popping up throughout but served little purpose other than to highlight more continuity issues. Kunis was about the only saving grace in the film and although I was not aware of her film work, she did well with what she was given in terms of dialogue.
It seemed very much to me that this was a film that hadn't been thought through properly. It appeared to be trying to be a gross-out comedy? (There were a few moments but nothing that hadn't been done better before and certainly nothing that made me more than mildly chuckle).
Then, it looked like it might take a turn for the better with a lovely scene with the main characters mentally ill father but this was quickly swept under the carpet. Then it turned into a fairly formulaic romance story although so much was not explained and the transformation from "I hate this girl" to "I love this girl" was all a little unexplained.
All-in-all a truly baffling movie. It had so much potential with a mostly excellent cast but fundamentally, it felt like it didn't know what it was as a movie. As such, any one area which could have been fleshed-out to become the core constituent ended up being watered down.

The DVD with the movie Moving McAllister is in perfect condition. It also includes subtitles in Spanish, something fundamnetal for me. And some extras

Mila Kunis and Ben Gourley are quite good in the lead roles in this but the film has three major problems. 1) It's a little boring and not the funniest of comedies considering the situations the characters find themselves in. 2) Jon Heder - Really? One good role in Napoleon Dynamite but after that he has been poor. 3) Rutger Hauer is criminally underused and put to the sidelines. Thankfully, there is enough to keep you watching. Kunis/Gourley play off each other reasonably well and Billy Drago's cameo is quite funny. I just feel this needed to be more polished... the script could've done with a rewrite for the essential comedy moments and it sometimes has an amateur feel in its overall production/editing. Low end of rent it. 2.5/5
