The Open Road

After watching the film I am still unsure on the genre, it is advertised as a comedy but not one bit in the film made me laugh. There was some romance in the film along with drama. This is a light drama with no comedic moments at all.

Main characters are Carlton Garrett and Kyle Garrett who were played by Justin Timberlake and Jeff Bridges. Kyle is a champion baseball player.

So when advertising I would emphasise the fact these two actors are the main part because they are well known and perhaps already have a fan base.
Most of the film was set in a car travelling so the use of travel will need to be shown when advertising.

Tagline: They've got a long way to go

Narrative: Kyle and Carlton embark on a roadtrip together, they are father and son. They are going to see Carltons mother who is in hopsital needing a major life saving operation which she refuses to have until she see's her ex husband Kyle.

Director: Michael Meridith
