Bingo gathers up his friends Jay (Felix Roco) and Calvin (Will DeVaughn) and goes on a road trip with the secret purpose of finding his father. Along the way they get into a bunch of misadventures, none of which tell us anything about the characters or advance the story in any way. Calvin is an overworked actor who worries he’s not spending enough time on himself. Half deaf Jay can’t find any direction in his life. The film would have us believe that this road trip helped them deal with these issues, explaining in three consecutive voiceover heavy scenes near the end how each of them have new approaches to life. The sheer dissonance between this conclusion and what actually happens on their road trip is simply mindblowing.
