Rated - 5 starsSuperb 5 Stars!

GStar1977 [Highly rated reviewer] , 15/11/2007

I went to see this film in the cinema and was taken back with how great it was.

This film is based on a true story about a young man's life after he graduates from College and decides to go travelling.

The film jumps back and forth between his childhood and his travels and is told from his sister's point of view, but is not confusing in the way it is done.

The storyline captures you and the directorship from Sean Penn is superb.

I would be very surprised if Sean Penn doesn't not receive an Oscar nomination for this film as it was truely outstanding!

Rated - 5 starsVery important film

Ravi Mulchandani from London, England [Highly rated reviewer] , 19/02/2008

The film takes you down a journey to mankind's enchanting prehistory. We switch between the beauty of the wilderness and the urban and travelling life. A story of struggle with oneself, others and the beauty of that struggle. Very moving.

If you are expecting 'graduate lawyer leaves society to go into the wild and learn to live like Grizzly Adams' this film is not it.

A customer from Leeds , 11/08/2008

Rich kid has problems with his parents and decides that as a smug, know nothing twenty something he should go off and find himself and give lessons in life and literature to the people he meets. Spouting profound insights like 'why cannot we all just get along?', I am surpirsed he only got one good kicking during his travels.

If you want to be preached at by an immature, self obsessed dullard who has read some literature but fails to understand it, then check out this movie.

The scenary cannot obscure the premise that we are supposed to lionise a character who is smug, whining and lacks self knowledge.
