About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a rough-edged, funny-sad road trip about friendship, duty, and injustice, with plenty of crude talk; Not for you if you dislike raunchy humor or meandering pacing like in M*A*S*H.

Pros: darkly funny road trip; strong trio chemistry; poignant, human moments | Cons: heavy profanity throughout; uneven pacing at times; dated attitudes toward women
