Traveler
 
 The MM - "Billy
Crudup goes AWOL on his son's third birthday and embarks on a road
trip from New York to Oregon. The fact that this trip is not exactly
traveling the world is the least of this film's problems. Billy
leaves a wife (Julianne Moore)
and family that he has absolutely no reason to leave and
proceeds to behave as one of the most inconsiderate and selfish
bipeds on the planet. Not only is his behavior despicable but the people
he meets are either boring or deranged. When we finally realize the
purpose of Billy's journey and we share the moment of his self
awareness, it is one of the most underwhelming and least convincing
closure scenes of any serious drama."
