Reviews of recent and upcoming DVD releases
Kansas City Star
If this sounds like the kind of movie someone made up on the spot, guess what? It sort of is. Spearheaded by Matt Walsh of "Upright Citizens Brigade" infamy, "Road" is a hodgepodge of absolutely hysterical improvisational comedy that, balled together, ...
