I struggle with addiction (fortunately, the social media kind, rather than chemical).

This movie helped me imagine what one extreme of my behavior would be like (short-sighted behavior in general, not just what was depicted).

Unfortunately, I believe this was not the purpose of the movie. I was expecting a laugh, but got just a few chuckles in what felt like a fever dream of repugnant behavior.

The problem was, I could relate with the characters. I never expected this to be a problem in a movie, but here the situations were not a laughing matter. I could not get through it.

Overall, I feel conflicted. I thank it for the motivation to get my life in order. But I did not find it funny. I found it a notch too realistic.

I saw the cast and thought "wow that's actually probably a pretty good movie, how did it only get 5.3 stars on IMdB" Then I watched it and literally couldn't even finish it. Now I'm thinking "damn how did this movie really get a 5.3"

I couldn't decide which was worse, the acting by half of the characters or the writing of the entire movie. You can watch it if you want to see for yourself but don't waste your time if you're looking for something you can watch and walk away saying yeah I'm glad I watched that.

"High Road" Is The Single Greatest Comedy Film In The History Of American Cinema. Matt Walsh Has Proved Himself Time nd Time Again To Be A Great Comedic Voice, But Never As Strongly As In His Directorial Debut. The Story Is Simple, Yet Totally Original. The Hilarious James Pumphrey Stars As Fitz, A Stoner And Musician Who Is Suddenly Thrown Into A Threatening Situation When He Is Caught Dealing Weed To Someone At A Local Convenience Store And Goes On The Lam. Fitz Then Encounters Jimmy, A Sixteen-Year Old Who Is Running Away From His Domineering Father. Jimmy's Father Is Played By Rob Riggle. Fitz Reluctantly Takes Jimmy With Him After Assaulting Jimmy's Father With A Brick, Not Knowing That The Man Was Jimmy's Father. The Two Are Going To Oakland, California To See Fitz's Father After Fitz Learns That His Girlfriend Monica, Played By The Excellent Abby Elliot, Is Pregnant With Fitz's Child. Along The Way, They An Encounter A Prostitute Played By The Amazing Morgan Walsh. The Role Exists Only In A Cameo, But It Is Unquestionably One Of The Most Memorable Scenes In The Film. Meanwhile, Monica Has No Idea Where Fitz Has Disappeared To And Drives To Oakland To Find Fitz. When Fitz Finally Finds His Father, We Learn That Is A Drag Queen And Is Played By The Brilliantly Hysterical Rich Fulcher. The Following Scenes Are Both Hilarious And Also Provoke A Genuine Emotion Response In The Viewer. The Entire Cast Is Stellar, With Dylan O'Brien Playing Jimmy And Featuring Ed Helms, Lizzy Caplan, Joe Lo Truglio, Horatio Sanz, Matt L. Jones, Andrew Daly, And The Terrific Zach Woods. The Film Was Directed By Matt Walsh With A Completely Improvised Script. The Film Features Many Members Of UCB And Has A Similar Feel To What The UCB Has Become Known For. The Film Is Unlike Anything You Have Ever Seen. "High Road" Is Equal Parts Hilarity And Heart. Walsh's Direction Is Excellent And Wonderfully Unique. "High Road" Is, In My Opinion, A Perfect Film That Exceeds Any And All Expectations. It's One Of My Very Favorite Films.
