Queen Latifah fights Nazis in "End of the Road," and not even that bit of ridiculousness can save this inept thriller from being one of the year's most hapless films.
Latifah plays Brenda, a mother moving her family from Los Angeles to Houston after the death of her husband. She's joined by her two children, Cam and Kelly (Shaun Dixon and Mychala Lee) as well as her well meaning screw-up of a little brother, Reggie (Chris "Ludacris" Bridges).
What should be an easy journey — they've allowed themselves three days for the 1,500 mile trek — turns into anything but as Brenda and her family are witnesses to a murder and wind up on a wild goose chase with a bag of stolen cash in their possession. And director Millicent Shelton can never quite figure out what kind of movie she's making, and it ends up as uncooked as meat on a grill that no one bothered to light.
