Interstate 60 is written and directed by Bob Gale, creator of the Back to the Future trilogy, and it attempts to cash in on the wide affection for those movies by explicity associating itself with them - a fantastical storyline, ‘zany’ tone, and parts for both Christopher Loyd and Michael J Fox. But making this link only serves to emphasise Interstate 60’s own shortcomings. With none of Back to the Future’s imaginative energy, this is a lazy, meandering, silly excuse for a film.

Neal Oliver (James Marsden) is 22 and wants to be an artist; his dad, surprisingly enough, wants him to be a lawyer.
