The story revolves around two young men: Nat is an aspiring photographer heading toward his goal at the Los Angeles School of Art, and Richard is a motormouth and simply looking for contact with someone else. They both embark on a journey through the southwestern United States, where they both try to cross the many paths that relate to a variety of exciting adventures.
Mantzoukas brilliantly juggles all the different forces of Richard's personality so that we never quite know what to make of this guy, which in turn means that we never quite know what will happen next with him and Nat.
A case of realism gone wrong, leading to a complete absence of any incentive whatsoever to care about either of the main characters, let alone get invested in the toxicity of their lives and friendship, thus destroying any real enjoyment.
Neither long nor dumb, Hannah Fidell's "The Long Dumb Road" is in reality a terrifically entertaining odd couple road comedy expertly navigated by costars Tony Revolori and Jason Mantzoukas.
