It was supposed to be a diary film for his dying brother, so the shaky camera, poor lighting, uneven sound and low quality footages are constantly found along the movie. It is understandable but unnecessary because you always know it is not a real story. Trying to make it low quality make it annoying rather than convincing. The storyline is not much more than a crazy stupid road trip. They wanted to do something dumb before his brother die and burn the wedding money of the living brother. Hiring a call girl to the road trip does not make it more entertaining or touching at all. That seems to be just for a "click bait" title. I rated 3 just for the beautiful Lauren Aboulafia who looked like a great combination of Anna Kendrick and Tina Fey. Her acting when she was bored seems convincing. Or maybe it was really boring when she was on set. She should have made it much better in Hollywood.
