Carpool Guy

About This Movie

Carpool Guy, directed by Corbin Bernsen, blends humor with a touch of heart. The pacing's a bit uneven at times, but that kind of fits the whole traffic theme. You follow Joel, a slick ad exec who's just too caught up in his world, until he enlists a homeless guy for the carpool lane. Their dynamic brings a nice mix of comedy and introspection. The performances are solid, with a certain authenticity that makes their bond feel genuine. It’s not just about the laughs; there’s a pretty interesting commentary on social issues lurking under the surface. The practical effects are minimal, focusing instead on dialogue and character moments, which gives it a more grounded feel than your usual comedy.

Features a unique take on social themes. · The dynamic between the leads stands out. · Pacing might feel off, but it adds to the charm.
