Quotes
[first lines]
Nick Beam:
Where do I start? It's not you. Well actually it is you. Look, I'm just not... I'm not attracted to you anymore. I need space. You kinda... you kinda gross me out. In the beginning it was different. In the beginning, you were better. But then I got to know you real well, and I came to realize... that you're a fat idiot.

Usually I hate 'buddy' movies. But I like road movies, too. This a combination of those two, and the two sub-genres mixed together made a great combination. Martin Lawrence had lots of funny lines, and Tim Robbins provided some great slapstick comedy (The bit when his shoes caught on fire was hilarious). The ending was a bit weak, but still satisfying. The whole film was good, and better than I expected it to be.
