Er, what?

This Gen-X road trip has an interesting performance from the always-engaging Jared Leto, plus small and hilarious turns from the likes of Jeremy Piven, but overall this film is a nonsensical dud. Ostensibly, it's about a run to Seattle brought on when Leto's Jack gets caught in bed with a mobster's woman. Of course, the mobsters give chase.

What's the point? What's to be learned? Aside from presenting kooky, Hunter S. Thompson-style characters and introducing completely off-the-wall situations that will never, ever happen to you, Highway doesn't have many guts.

Think of it as an armadillo, belly up on the... ah, skip it.
