• It had promise...
  I'm a massive fan of Gorman and everything he has done, and although I'd happily watch this again and again, it isn't as good as it could have been.
  This film could have easily been 3 hours, gone more in depth and shown what real America is about.
  I find that, without spoiling it too much, after his female partner has back problems and needs to be replaced, this rest of the film is very rushed.

• Unchained, unfulfilled
  I read the book and thoroughly enjoyed the entire tale.
  I then watched the DVD hoping to relive the tale in full.
  I didn't.
  Huge great swathes of the book that make the story the entertaining story that it is are glossed over in thirty second snippets, or just plain ignored.
  The book merits a six part series to cover the story, after all a trip from one side of a vast country to the other is tough to cover in ninety minutes.
  In short, read the book

• Good film, dissapointing DVD
  I really enjoyed this film when i watched it on more 4 and hoped that the DVD would hold extras, especially considering it was filmed in late 2006 and released 2008 with a good years worth of editing i guess i was expecting more than just the film.
  despite this though i am glad i bought it, and very glad i bought the book as well as the DVD.

• A genuine American road-trip, brilliant!
  I loved this documentary when it was on TV so was really chuffed when I saw it was going to be released on DVD. Enjoyed it even more on second viewing and have lent it to a couple of friends who have raved about it too.
  Yes it's different to Are you Dave Gorman and Googlewhack Adventure but it has an important point to make. After all it's a documentary, not a comedy, and in order to keep it authentic he hadn't researched his route or had a massive entourage like other travellers (take note McGregor... more info
