The Pitch
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Schwarz can't make enough out of that goofy notion - visually or narratively - to get a comic steam going. But there are sidebar pleasures to be found ...
Seattle Times
Rating: 2/5 --
The unusually grizzled Dunne excels. Sadly, the movie is marred by tepid, often crass comedy.

Rating: B- --
A minor discovery, but a diverting one...a low-key, unassuming but pleasant family road dramedy.

Washed-up history professor Lewis Birch (Griffin Dunne) takes his begrudging teenagers on a road trip to a conference in hopes of jumpstarting his career and reconnecting with his kids.

The Birch family find themselves on a journey of discovery and connection as they make their own passage across America.
