CGiii Comment

Tourettes, anorexia and OCD sufferers...hit the road.

First of all...it has to be pointed out...that this is a sterile, unnecessary re-make of a better film...where an 'auteur' takes all the credit...for blatant plagiarism. No, let us be more blunt - a criminal rip-off.

Watch: Vincent Wants to Sea (2010) instead.

Apart from watching something far superior - you will be spared a bucket load of nauseating sentimentality, an overwrought (and annoying) performance by Dev Patel and a litany of profanities that - no matter how you regard them...are not funny in the slightest.

The vomit scene is quite funny though.

So, give credit where credit is due...Gren Wells you did not write this...you stole it.

The(ir) Blurb...

The Road Within is about Vincent, a young man suffering from Tourette Syndrome. His mother dies so his estranged father, Robert, is forced to step in. However, Robert's running for political office and doesn't want his son on the campaign trail - so Robert puts Vincent in a clinic that's run by the unconventional Dr. Mia Rose. Once there, Vincent falls in love with an anorexic woman named Marie. Together, they steal Dr. Rose's car, and end up having to kidnap his OCD roommate, Alex, when he threatens to tell on them. With Robert and Dr. Rose in hot pursuit, Vincent, Marie and Alex go on a life changing road trip to deliver the ashes of his mother to the ocean.
