Storyline

After a rough time working a night shift job in the city, Alvin is spending the summer on a remote two-man public works crew painting lines on newly paved roads through what is a recently wildfire-ravaged region of Texas. He is camping along the way living off the land, even doing so on his days off. He is what he considers a responsible man, earning and sending money to his girlfriend, Madison, a single mother, so that she need not concern herself with anything besides child rearing. The junior second that Alvin hires for his crew is Madison's brother, Lance. Alvin's controlling and judgmental nature comes to the surface in his dealings with more immature and irresponsible Lance, who goes back to the city on the weekends so that he can have "his little man squeezed", something he cannot understand in Alvin being without Madison or any woman for such a long stretch of time. Alvin prefers to stay in the burnt out woods on the weekends as being alone with his thoughts and his chores - ... Written by Huggo

Alvin: [about cassette tape] Hey! What are you doing?
Lance: I was falling asleep. I thought it would be a good idea to change the station situation.
Alvin: It wasn't. I was listening to that.
Lance: I know, but it's boring for the rest of us. I was falling asleep doing the work.
Alvin: So what?
Lance: So, I wanna play this tape. I wanna play this play to get motivated and pumped up, ya know?

this movie can be used as Diazepam
29 September 2013 | by – See all my reviews

i wanted to rate it 1 but the only reason i gave a 2 was the beautiful scenery they used as filming location other than that it was a dragging ,snail slow movie which i fell asleep three times while watching it.i didn't even get what was it's point.oh i forgot to say,i actually learned how to install road signs and draw lines that could become a good documentary though.it can resolve your sleeping problems too.in the end it left me wondering why would someone spend money on making such movies. 2 boring guy in a road is the whole plot,it may have made me smile one or 2 times but other than that,nothingggg. don't watch it!!!!!!!
