Great Movie, 8/10, didn't read the book which it's based, but anyway, is a dramatic and very emotional road movie, and kinda sad. if you are an art-house movie buff, you will certainly like it

I can't believe I wasted time watching this film. First of all it pips Amy Adams as starring and she's in it for a hot fucking second. It's just packed with completely over written wannabe deep writing as a young man idolises an absolute piece of garbage friend. The whole film is basically about a terrible womaniser who drags his friends and admirers along behind him. Waste of time.

I think every few years it is important to revisit On The Road just to see where I am at Artistically--this version of the events is much more in tune to the book compared to a lot of the documentaries I have seen which is interesting. The soundtrack is AMAZING--likely reason enough to see this film. I found the actors young, which was nice, and the guy that played Burroughs was amazing. The queer elements are played much more realistically and less "dramatic" which is nice. I really loved the scene in which Jack takes Neal back to see their musical hero--as the stand at the bar you can actually feel the falling nostalgia and crisis to come. A great scene in a much better then expected film.

Loved it. I was worried about Kristen Stewart in a movie about the Beat Generation but she was wonderful. The double handjob scene even made me blush.

Take it or leave it, On the Road is a quintessential American novel. There were members of my generation that swore by it as a kind of bible to living, writing and being free. As a matter of fact, I was lucky enough to be in the school Allen Ginsburg was teaching at. I was also lucky enough to get More
