Great Film overall

An Exercise In Nonsense

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

I guess now it's cool to have a movie with a chick with colored hair wearing "punk" clothes to really add the essence of an "indie drama". Not to mention the story has no plot and the girl tries so hard to be bad-ass, quirky, and deep it's just pathetic. The girl who plays her little sister is a terrible actress. The whole movie is just terrible. I wish I could get that 1 hour and 30 minutes back from my life. But oh no, that's not all! It must be an amazing movie if every song they play throughout it is some sort of decent folk/indie band to make up for the cliché plot. Seriously, get better taste in movies. Just because they talk about the Great Gatsby (which everyone has read in high school), put some dumb blonde bitch to play the role of a "rebel", and play one Bright Eyes song, does NOT make it worthy of more than 4/10 stars.

A sweet little flick with likable characters! And some big names - Danny Glover, Ellen Burstyn, Nikki Reed and Jane Seymour. This is more a story of a young independent minded girl full of courage; and not rebellion as the description claims.Here's the setup - Scout & Lulu are sisters with quite a few years difference in their age. Scout is a teenager and Lulu is still a very young child and both live with their sickly grandmother. Scout & Lulu are very close. Their carnie ne'er-do-well father shows up one day and takes Lulu away with him. In the meantime Scout has befriended an emotionally damaged young man who is a resident in a very posh psychiatric hospital and dealing with his suicidal thoughts. These two decide to go on the road to get Lulu away from the father.This is a fine road movie with mostly unbelievable characters but the performances by the actors bring these characters to life which makes for a good story and a nice movie. Of course there is sorrow, loss and happiness along the way. It's well worth watching for light entertainment!

This is a charming 'Road Movie' about a girl trying to keep her 'family' together. Great performances by Onata Aprile and India Ennega. Danny Glover was strong as a supporting actor as was Ellen Burstyn, Nikki Reed and Jane Seymour. India Ennega's star role as Scout takes her through situations most teen actors could not embody. She breaks the law in the desperate need to 're-claim' her sister. She is bold and determined but still shows a vulnerable side to her character. Young Onata Aprile is also amazing as Scout's young sister. Danny Glover plays a believable 'bounty-hunter with a true heart of gold. Jane Seymour in a role as a not so nice mother was a the first time I can remember that she doesn't play a perfectly nice person. This movie is a delightful exploration into human behavior.

About Scout. I loved the film. The story, acting, directing and filming were great! I hope it makes it to a full release in all theaters. Congratulations to all involved. I love a movie with a really good story/plot, that takes you on an adventure. Good work! The star studded cast was amazing, they played roles out of their comfortable zone. The story, off-beat, was extremely interesting. The young actress India Ennenga, is truly talented. We all watched her grow-up in the TV series "Treme", now she is on the big screen. I hope we see more of her in films.Ellen Burstyn was terrific, Jane Seymore was fantastic, Danny Grover you want in every film. Tim Guinee was great, he and India had chemistry , they worked and looked great together on screen. The whole cast worked.
