The Lucky Ones

I'm on a bit of a roll with netflix. I liked this movie alot (trailer). Loosely it's about 3 Iraq war vets on leave in the states for a little while, and they take a roadtrip across america from NYC to vegas. I really like road movies, and this was a pretty decent entry in the genre. It's a subtle, small movie, funny at times, sad at times. It's not political at all, despite Tim Robbins being one of the soldiers. Rachel McAdams does a nice job, she looks and acts like a soldier might. I liked her in Wedding Crashers, too. She's Canadian, that must be why I think she's cool.
