Detours (II) (2016)
9/10
Traveling the past via the future
1 September 2016
Warning: Spoilers
A father daughter relationship designed by Kenny Loggins, orchestrated in a child's playroom, pushed together by an absentee mommy, and captured by an old school VHS player - that's the relationship and the "vacation" that unfolds between Fiorletta and Westwood. Once upon a time, at the beach when she was a young girl and he was the dad-mom it was easier but times have changed. Dad is much older now, mom is gone, and baby girl is leaving the nest times two to head towards greener or at least more glade like pastures in Florida.

Father and daughter find themselves without romantic companions as they travel together which leads to unexpected yet welcomed encounters. Eyebrow eyebrow. 

Much is revealed between them but the most important revelation is that these two are more similar than they are different and they are as much fun to watch banter as they are to watch behold one another.

The supporting cast is delectable. Again, some familiar faces, as Debargo Sanyal, our Indian rapper running the parents motel south of the border, bumps to the beat and steals the screen within seconds. 

The millennial with student loan debt and a stand O' Lemonade who really rides the line of 'wow is this guy for real or have we failed an entire generation' is fabulous.

I did enjoy this film and I recommend it.

Look, you are going to like it.
