Indie movies can occasionally turn out to be worth your time, but they have to be original, even if they're not very good. "The Daytrippers" wtih recognizable names (Anne Meara, Parker Posey, Campbell Scott, Stanley Tucci) was promoted as a comedy - an entire family driving from Long Island to New York City to confront the husband of the oldest daughter concerning a love not from "Sandy" found while cleaning up the bedroom. I kept waiting for the laughs. I got one or two mild chuckles, but they were pretty forced. And the surprise ending was that the movie ended so abruptly after all the talk, talk, talk they put us through. Even though the film was less than 90 minutes, it felt longer and even though it was not a complete waste of time, I did feel ripped off at the lack of promised laughs. I even got a little depressed -- no one is happy at the end (sorry, gave that away).
A suspicious love note sends a dysfunctional Long Island family on a scavenger hunt of the heart in this no potholes barred romantic comedy.More at HotMovieSale.com
