The Runaround (2017)

The Runaround: Directed by Gavin Wiesen. With Lio Tipton, Emile Hirsch, J.K. Simmons, Meta Golding. A workaholic father who attempts to visit his daughter during a layover in LA, only to discover that she’s disappeared, is forced to team up with her awkward ex-boyfriend to find her over the course of one transformative night.

“So Emile Hirsch and JK Simmons … now that is a pairing that sounds fun. And I do understand if some may have expected something different from this. But as it is, this is a low budget comedy, dare I say road movie(?), that has a couple of things for it. And thatu0026#39;s not just the actors themselves but the set up.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhile itu0026#39;s simple, itu0026#39;s also very effective and it does draw quite a few talented actors in smaller roles to rub shoulders with our lead actors. None of us is without fault, so itu0026#39;s not easy seeing others people misery. But when done in a light and funny way (mostly) like in this movie right here, it is quite enjoyable to take that ride. Donu0026#39;t expect this to have Academy Award performances though. Still decent enough overall”
