Variety
Boasting strong performances by Jeff Bridges and Justin Timberlake. - 50
Los Angeles Times
It's a low-key road movie that doesn't stray far from the very, very beaten path. - 40
L.A. Weekly
The Open Road isn’t an unwatchable howler -- instead, writer-director Michael Meredith’s film is merely dull and obvious. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
A dreary dramedy of a road film that starts off ploddingly and proceeds to only grow more so as it crawls along.
