I guess now it's cool to have a movie with a chick with colored hair wearing "punk" clothes to really add the essence of an "indie drama". Not to mention the story has no plot and the girl tries so hard to be bad-ass, quirky, and deep it's just pathetic. The girl who plays her little sister is a terrible actress. The whole movie is just terrible. I wish I could get that 1 hour and 30 minutes back from my life. But oh no, that's not all! It must be an amazing movie if every song they play throughout it is some sort of decent folk/indie band to make up for the cliché plot. Seriously, get better taste in movies. Just because they talk about the Great Gatsby (which everyone has read in high school), put some dumb blonde bitch to play the role of a "rebel", and play one Bright Eyes song, does NOT make it worthy of more than 4/10 stars.

Looks like I'm in disagreement with the other reviewers so far on the site, as I found this indie rang false with me pretty much from start to finish. India Ennenga and James Frecheville have good screen presence in their lead roles here, and there are some endearing moments along the way. However, to me, I just thought the plot elements were absurd, the dialogue weak, the characters surfacy, and the movie just left me with a pervasive sadness and hollow feeling. There are plenty of name actors in supporting roles in the film, but they can only do so much with the stilted and lifeless script.Overall, I just couldn't buy into what this indie was "selling", although I see the movie struck others quite differently.

This is a charming 'Road Movie' about a girl trying to keep her 'family' together. Great performances by Onata Aprile and India Ennega. Danny Glover was strong as a supporting actor as was Ellen Burstyn, Nikki Reed and Jane Seymour. India Ennega's star role as Scout takes her through situations most teen actors could not embody. She breaks the law in the desperate need to 're-claim' her sister. She is bold and determined but still shows a vulnerable side to her character. Young Onata Aprile is also amazing as Scout's young sister. Danny Glover plays a believable 'bounty-hunter with a true heart of gold. Jane Seymour in a role as a not so nice mother was a the first time I can remember that she doesn't play a perfectly nice person. This movie is a delightful exploration into human behavior.

About Scout. I loved the film. The story, acting, directing and filming were great! I hope it makes it to a full release in all theaters. Congratulations to all involved. I love a movie with a really good story/plot, that takes you on an adventure. Good work! The star studded cast was amazing, they played roles out of their comfortable zone. The story, off-beat, was extremely interesting. The young actress India Ennenga, is truly talented. We all watched her grow-up in the TV series "Treme", now she is on the big screen. I hope we see more of her in films.Ellen Burstyn was terrific, Jane Seymore was fantastic, Danny Grover you want in every film. Tim Guinee was great, he and India had chemistry , they worked and looked great together on screen. The whole cast worked.
