Loaded

Three estranged high school friends reunite for an unexpected road trip to rehab. Forced together for a few grueling days, they just might reconnect .. if they don’t kill each other first.

Ethan (Patrick John Flueger), Reza (Kumail Nanjiani), and Alex (Andrew W. Walker) are old friends but at this point in their life not necessarily close friends. Reza and Ethan agree to take their mutual friend Alex to a detox clinic by a request from Alex’s father asked for through Reza. That point, which is almost the opening of the movie, captured my thoughts. Why through Reza, why not the father himself, or with the family wealth through some other source? Then as the story progresses you realize the three friends act more as a family than just three buddies. Reza is like the parental figure, he knows responsibility, is reliable and cautious. He reaches a point of frustration as a parent would with a child. Alex is like the spoiled misbehaving child that gives no thought to the future and only lives for the ‘now’. Ethan is like the sibling that wants to help the parent but at the same time is not particularly concerned about the situation at hand.
