Review of Ride

IRREGARDLESS IS NOT A WORD

Warning: Spoilers
Helen Hunt plays an over protective mom who can't let go. She works for NY literary firm, and her son Angelo (Brenton Thwaites) desires to be a writer, making their relationship strained. Angelo opts to visit his dad (Robert Knepper) in California for the summer, the type of controlling dad, who tells his son, "whatever makes you happy." After spending 2 minutes on a California beach, Angelo decides he wants to stay. Mom comes out to LA, a place that she loathes like the NY snob that she portrays, and takes surfing lessons to be closer to her son...the one running away from her.

The film is all about the mom-son relationship and a bad love story. The characters lacked depth. I didn't feel for none of the major characters. It was also a mediocre attempt at comedy. Helen Hunt acts better than she writes or direct.

Guide: F-bomb. Sex. No nudity.
