A law intern wants to impress his boss before his Bar Exam so he offers to help his daughter by moving her and her pet pig to the other end of the country. A lot of things happen in the meantime that will make the main character change his perception over life and discover true love along the way.
A bad movie from the beginning to the end. A pointless and average plot that features a series of weird events that have no meaning whatsoever. Not to say that the end is as bad as the rest, the main character finally realizing out of nowhere that he loves the girl who's been escorting throughout the entire journey.
Luckily it had few entertaining moments that made me laugh, otherwise it would have received a really bad rating.

A bad trip
halfhearted but still fairly enjoyable comedy
Eager to score points with his boss (Rutger Hauer), law intern Rick Robinson (Ben Gourley) - who hails from Kansas and looks for all the world like Clark Kent - agrees to drive the old man's free-spirited niece, Michelle (Mila Kunis), from Savannah to L.A., and still make it back to Miami in time to take his bar exam. But Michelle has other plans in mind, and she's not about to make it easy for the uptight, highly regimented young man - whom she believes needs to learn how to let his freak flag fly and just enjoy life - to complete his mission.
Though the opposites-attract, road-trip-from-hell premise is far from original, "Moving McAllister" has enough charm, wit and affability to keep it just this side of entertaining. The performances are winning (with Jon Heder particularly effective as a spacey, zonked-out hitchhiker the couple picks up on their way), and writer Gourley and director Andrew Black have provided a series of loopy dream sequences that help lift the movie out of its picaresque rut. Some of the detours are more enjoyable than others, and the ending lacks credibility and conviction, but the lighthearted tone makes up for most of the movie's deficiencies and shortcomings.
not bad
With only days to go until the Bar exam, an intern suck up agrees to take a crate and his boss's niece across country to LA and in the process finds himself.
Its a standard tale of a self discovery where the lead character finds himself and love done with just a touch of quirkiness so that the whole affair is lifted a little bit out of the "been there and done that" pile. I had seen the trailer too many times on the front of Magnolia DVDs and was curious enough to try it when I found it at the local Blockbuster. I was a tad disappointed because the trailer was better, but at the same time I was amused. Honestly this isn't anything that you haven't seen before, but at the same time the cast makes this worth seeing if you should stumble on upon it. Sure you're going to know where its going but at the same time it does amuse. Will you need to see it a second time? Probably not but while its on its worth a look.
