A very entertaining road movie with some fun and quirky moments. The film is able to find the balance between sentimentally and comedy and this helps to create a very entertaining drama.... Full review

This movie was absolutely awful. The story was completely ridiculous and the acting wasn't that great. It was so grotesque and did not flow well at all. Very random and stupid... Full review

This movie ranked up there with the all time worst. Horrible story line, very predictable and just plain boring. Not ever Jon Heder could save this one..Mila Kunis did look good, that was the only positive I took away from this... Full review

Well, I slept during about 1/3 of the movie. Yes, it was that boring. I did laugh some, there were some uniquely funny moments. Jon Heder was his usual self (bad actor) but funny. The movie seemed like it would never... Full review

Colorado Springs Independent
Jon Heder shows up as a hippie hitchhiker, wringing whatever laughs he can out of his nerd shtick. So when the boss' free-spirited, stereotypically quirky niece (an irritating Mila Kunis) needs to get to L.A., he's up for the job. ... Full Review

Eager to impress, he agrees to help the firm's top lawyer, Maxwell McAllister (Rutger Hauer), with a favor he really cannot afford. Along the way they encounter numerous obstacles and unforgettable characters, like free-spirited hitchhiker Orlick Prescott Hope (Heder), who all contribute to slowing down the journey much to Rick's dismay. ...

Which makes "Moving McAllister" the unfortunate exception. Gourley, who also wrote the script, is awful as the wide-eyed innocent. The McAllister of the title is Maxwell McAllister (Rutger Hauer), the head of a successful Miami law firm. ... Full Review

Variety
Writer-star Ben Gourley packs this excursion with enough contrived quirkiness and latent angst to win over the college crowd, but adds nothing particularly insightful about his generation. Gourley, who looks like a young James Marsden with his clean-cut good looks and toothy white smile, never seems as dedicated to a career in law as his character professes. ... Full Review
