The Open Road Starring Justin Timberlake Trailer

I am so happy to see Justin Timberlake back on the big screen! In his new movie, The Open Road, which opens in select theaters on August 28th, he realizes the value of father/son relationships…and enjoying the ride.

In this heartwarming comedy, minor leaguer Carlton Garrett (Justin Timberlake) takes an unexpected road trip to track down his estranged father, legendary baseball player Kyle Garrett (Jeff Bridges) when Carlton’s mother (Mary Steenburgen) becomes sick. Knowing his charming yet painfully immature dad’s likelihood to disappoint, Carlton enlists his on-again-off-again girlfriend Lucy (Kate Mara) for emotional support. Once reunited, Carlton struggles to deal with the series of misadventures caused by his father’s antics, including missed flights, car trouble and bathroom brawls. Years of miscommunication, frustration and comically awkward attempts at bonding come to a head as the mismatched trio make their way from Ohio back home to Houston to reunite the family.

I pretty much grew up without a father around. I know movies like this always make me wonder what life would have been like if I did have a dad.
