A Fork in the Road (2010)

I love this movie so much

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This started out pretty mediocre but just kept getting better as it progressed.Initially it seemed to me like the female lead was doing a Michelle Pfeiffer routine, while the male lead was doing a Ben Stiller one, and that was a bit grating, but as it went along they came into their own, and I wound up liking both of them much, much more than I like either Pfeiffer or Stiller. (I feel kind of bad hoping that neither of these two actors ever get a really big break, so that they don't get super- spoiled and transparently egotistical like most major Hollywood actors, tainting their future performances, because I liked them so much here.) I would encourage you stick with this movie and let it develop, because it really just keeps getting better as is it builds steam with the odd turns in the plot. Some suspension of disbelief is required, of course, but it's not too unreasonable at all for a movie. This comedy really just simply succeeds with very winning main characters in a convoluted plot with a lot of "intelligent" laughs. I don't want to sound like an old geezer whining about the good old days (I'm not even that old), but a basically wholesome movie like this (at least for the times we live in) with such likable performances from essentially unknown actors without the distractions of a bunch of mindless special effects is just the kind of treat I'm always looking for and have such a hard time finding--personally I would take a movie like this over a typical Hollywood blockbuster every single night of the week. The really sad thing is that you could probably make 20 of these for the same cost as one single Michael Bay flick. What is wrong with our world?

Not often will you go in watching a film without expectations and coming out very pleased. A Fork in the Road starts with just that and ends with just that. Everything that happens in the movie starts because of a literal fork in the road. But what happens in-between is a classic situation comedy romp. Misunderstandings and mishaps ensue in a quirky tale of hunk's that is full of twists you won't see coming. Solid from start to finish, the leads have great chemistry and the story the centers around them is a riot with a hint of sweetness. Definitely something I'd watch again and again, because it's that enjoyable.

If you see it at NetFlix, it is worth watching. The production values are excellent. No big special effects eating away at the budget. No big names. No giant spiders. This is just a "what if?" film that stays interesting and delivers a laugh every couple of minutes.It is not over the top comedy like Airplane! or Naked Gun. It is more of a bumbling, mistaken identity, he's dead, no he's not, type of humor that is never juvenile. Likable characters, even the ones we like to hate.Some toilet humor, but not really the kind of toilet humor some films stoop to. This is high class toilet humor. It has no boring character introduction scenes at the beginning. Five minutes into the movie you have action and adventure and a giggle or two.In the age of internet movie night, this is a very good choice. I want to watch these actors again.This would be a good double bill choice with Bonnie and Clyde.

A very cool movie - with an ending that fit right in.Now, this is of course based on simple minded cops who don't carry on to actually follow through with a real investigation.Alan wrote a movie which had an ending fir for anybody who doesn't have to do any real police type sleuthing or investigative work and it all tied in perfectly.Now, if they were real cops and had to do a real crime scene investigation, the story simply wouldn't exist.That aside, for a small budget movie and some fine entertainment, this is a movie which certainly can fit the bill.Just the right amount of dark humor and stupidity to get a good comedy mix.
