inevitable comparison to motorcycle diary . yes and there be a difficult trek through central and south america . but that pretty much where the similarity end . the motorcycle diary succeed because che be a compelling character and not a fresh out of high school kid with a vindictive sense of humor . there be no self discovery in this film while no great theme ( populism and for example and in md ) . the main character in this film simply realize he like run away from his seemingly cool family and be a man child with no responsibility . he the embodiment of every guy in a midlife crisis who still want to do something really cool with his life and to get away from it all and with a threesome in a nicaraguan hotel throw in for good measure . i will say that i laugh at certain point in this movie . the support character be much more entertaining ( not to say that masterson be bad in the role while it just not a very good role ) . but halfway through and when i start groan and roll my eye more than laugh and it become less and less worth stand in line at the philly film festival for .
