Movie Review: Bass Ackwards

Bass Ackwards is a road movie of a man driving cross-country from Seattle to Boston. I'm not sure depressed is the right word, but he's clearly confused about who he wants to be and lets people walk all over him. He meets a few people on the trip and there are a couple of geniunly good scenes with interesting characters. But star/writer/director choose to go too much for tone, with long rambling driving scenes with a very repetitive soundtrack. That can be fine, but I found it didn't sustain the 1:45 running time. Particularly since in the end, the protagonist's change is so slight.
