“There are so many freaky stuffs here as though they jammed an entire game of Grand Theft Auto or even a compilation of surveillance cameras from an asylum called Hollywood. Itu0026#39;s nothing short of glorious. Stretch is unapologetically full of sharp sarcasm, witty quips and a lot of profanities. Once it gets any momentum, Stretch leaves a trail of involuntary gasp reactions, otherwise known as u0026quot;WTFu0026quot; remarks, with its broken down mutilated-by-fate limousine.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eStory follows the titular Stretch (Patrick Wilson), a limo driver with a serious identity crisis and a bit of mental disorder. Heu0026#39;s about to embark on an overnight journey worth of Hangover, Collateral and Transporter combined. Itu0026#39;s amazing how the usual haunted man from Insidious and The Conjuring delivers so many chuckles, although he is still technically haunted in here.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe cast are nice, each character has very different wacky personality, borderline over-the-top. Still, these characters that seem like they escape video game realm are ridiculously fascinating. Some of them don drug dealer or angry cop personas, while others portray themselves as the elites of Hollywood. Most importantly, they appear to be enjoying themselves in this strange escapade.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eScript is thoroughly and amazingly witty. They exchange banter with insult jab and hefty amount of laughable internal as well as external screams. Itu0026#39;s the stuffs you hear behind the closed door of therapy session or rich men orgy. Wilson delivers his inner thought monologues with the despair of broken man and he is sullenly convincing.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe pace is fast, but it does need some time to rev the engine. Its crude nature might not be for everyone either, it has little to none restraint, so as they say, viewer discretion is advised. However, these are minor issues and can easily be overlooked since the film is just incredibly fun. Stretch delivers more than enough laughs, partially bitter laughs, in expense of himself and everyone in the film.”
