Quotes
Ricki: [hearing a helicopter in the distance] It's a Blackhawk.
Tom: You know about helicopters?
Ricki: Not really. Just the irony. Cheyenne, Chinook, Chickasaw, Apache. I just think it's funny that the Army named its helicopters after tribes they tried to wipe out.

How It Doesn't End.

The big problem with this movie is the writing. Almost ALL the characters including the mains behave illogically. The spacing of all the people and population is illogical. It's just not written very well but of course they had to try to cram in a fairly long road trip, Chicago to Seattle, into the less than 2 hours. It wasn't just that good. 4/10.
