Review of Jerome

Jerome (1998)
5/10
Shoestring indie snoozer
25 August 2001
Jerome, AZ is the destination of this road trip flick about a not too bright welder who walks off the job, leaves his family, and hits the road in his boss's car. A shoestring indie, "Jerome" is one of those shallow character-driven dramas where the camera lingers endlessly over every scene as though we're supposed to be wallowing in the pathos of the moment when we're really just getting bored out of our socks. Not totally unsatisfying, this flick delivers too little too late and in the end and seems to have no purpose other than showing us how much trouble a guy can get into by simply passively defaulting to the consequences of situations as they arise. For indie lovers only.
