bond_girl26 This movie blew me away. I wasn't expecting much when I turned on the DVD player. When I turned it off, I called my best friend right away and told her for now on, my name is Pilot. This movie just had everything. Funny, romantic, adventurous, violence, wow. I can't give any analysis here because I just want to tell people straight out, this movie is AMAZING. This will forever be my second favorite movie of all time. And such an amazing cast to top it all off. What more can I say besides it's a shame that this marvelous film is so unknown. Spread the Highway Gospel.BEST. MOVIE. EVER. In caps.

whpratt1 This was a very down to earth film about young guys who grew up together and did just about anything to have fun and get HIGH. The photography through out Las Vegas, Northern California and Seattle was outstanding. Jared Leto,(Jack Hayes),"Panic Room",'02, made a big mistake and made love to the wrong over sexed older woman who even complained about his performance and her husband had other ideas what should be done to solve the problem. Jake Gyllenhaal,(Pilot Kelson),"The Good Girl",'02, gave an outstanding supporting role and was a very close buddy to Jack Hayes. Jake and Jack decided to drift off to Seattle and on the Highway ran into a hot and sexy Selma Blair,(Cassie),"Legally Bonde",'01. Jake tells a story about how his mother gave him the name of Pilot and how he is searching for the true love of his life in Seattle. All the actors in this picture did a fantastic job of performing their difficult roles in this picture and created a very entertaining ride on a long highway.

Mikko_Elo_ i don't know what everyone's complaining about, a funny movie with pretty people...works for me. but i think i know a bit...lots of people who watched this have seen two movies they think are great;it won't give you spiritual awakenings like donnie darko, it's not as dramatic as requeim for a dream.thankfully. somebody's even complaining about 'happy ending'...pfft.i give it a seven just to promote a rare modern movie that doesn't make me puke with music video cuts and dramatic substance for once.plus i can't recollect seeing a movie that would (even slightly) use the times of grunge as it's background.

Tyler I've seen the DVD box for Highway sitting on the shelf at my local video store for ages and I've always passed, opting for something else. One day my best friend suggested hiring it, and I thought why not, I wasn't going to hire it any other time. At first glance it looks like your typical teen-targeted product-placement-riddled road movie. Upon watching it, there is much more to this film than its average cover art lets on.Jared Leto is perfect as the hapless pill-popping "God Of F***" Jack Hayes, and Jake Gyllenhaal is equally suited to the role of Pilot, his stoner child-hood pal. Their performances are commendable, as they generate a feeling of genuine camaraderie between each other. John C. McGinley and Jeremy Piven both come out of nowhere with excellent performances as over-the-top drug dealers. And Selma Blair almost fades into the background; she's not a bad actress but doesn't really do anything to make her performances stand out. The story isn't five star material, but it doesn't have to be, and that's where the movie succeeds, it doesn't try to take itself too seriously.Some of the previous reviews for Highway on this site have been particularly scathing, which is fair enough seeing as each person is entitled to their own opinion, but for people who have yet to see it I suggest giving it a chance before pre-forming an opinion. I personally thought it was a fun, fast paced and unpredictable road movie, much better than some other trash released in '02 (e.g. the laughably lame "The Tuxedo", the feeble Mummy series spin-off sword-in-sandal outing "The Scorpion King", and the pretentiously boring "The Hours" to name a few).After reading the previous reviews, one thing is obvious, the reviewers couldn't connect with the film, and just didn't appreciate it for what it was...fun and entertaining, which is what a good film is supposed to be.
