“Interstate 60: Episodes from the Road” centers on Neal Oliver (James Marsden), a young man struggling to reconcile his artistic aspirations with his father’s desire for him to pursue law. Seeking direction, he's granted a wish by O.W. Grant (Gary Oldman) and finds himself traveling along the fictional Interstate 60 toward Danver, where he hopes to find a certain girl (Amy Smart). His journey includes encounters with various characters and imparts several lessons learned. Christopher Lloyd appears, alongside brief appearances from actors like Michael J. Fox, Kurt Russell, and Ann-Margret. The storyline feels somewhat complicated at first, but it develops into a road movie divided into unusual sections—hence the subtitle “Episodes from the Road.” Some critics find fault with the film’s heavy-handed moralizing and simplistic approach to its themes. However, it possesses a distinctive quality and offers thoughtful observations about existence, presented in an accessible way for younger viewers. Ultimately, this is a reasonably diverting oddball fantasy that stands out due to its originality and insights. Fans of films such as "Michael" (1996), "City of Angels" (1998), "Holy Man" (1998), "Bruce Almighty" (2003) and “Evan Almighty” (2007) will recognize familiar elements in “Interstate 60,” although the supernatural figure here is a magical Irishman. The film’s length is 1 hour, 56 minutes, and filming took place in Ontario (Sunderland, Cannington and Toronto) and Arizona (Phoenix). GRADE: B
