Shulman, though, who also produced, is a personality drag, unable to make us care that Sherman's off-putting arrogance warrants even by-the-numbers enlightenment.

Sherman's Way starts with two strangers forced into a road trip of convenience
only to veer off the path into a quirky exploration of friendship,
fatherhood and the annoying task of finding one's place in the world -- a
world in which one wrong turn can change your destination.
The discord begins when Sherman, (Michael Shulman) a young, uptight Ivy-
Leaguer, finds himself stranded on the West Coast with an eccentric
stranger and washed-up, middle-aged former athlete Palmer (James Le
Gros) in an attempt to make it
down to Beverly Hills in time for
a career-making internship at a
prestigious law firm. The two
couldn't be more incompatible.
Palmer is a reckless charmer
with a zest for life; Sherman is
an arrogant snob with a sense
of entitlement. Palmer is content
reliving his past; Sherman
is focused solely on his future.
Neither is really living in the
present. The only thing this odd couple seems to share is the refusal to
accept responsibility for their lives.
Director Craig Saavedra brings his witty sensibility into this poignant look
at fatherhood and friendship that features indie stalwart James Le Gros in
an unapologetic performance that manages to bring undeniable charm to
an otherwise abrasive character. --© Official Site
