Sam H Nov 8, 2019 HAWke and a dumpsta baby what more do you need See more

Cindy T @RT23401829 Oct 18, 2026 Horrible movie. Ethan Hawke character seems emotionally or mentally stunted. Hawke's character can hardly tie his shoes let alone care for a baby. Only got 34 minutes in and had to turn it off. The movie is slow. See more

Armando O @itemhavedumb Jul 19, 2026 Adopt a Highway: Honest Review (some spoilers) Saw the YouTube short with Ethan Hawke checking the dumpster and had to watch it. Quick take: 6/10, being generous. Ethan plays Russell, fresh out of 18 years in prison, working as a dishwasher. One night he finds a baby in the trash. At first he’s scared, but he starts to care for her and finally feels purpose. Then life hits hard again. The movie has heart and good moments with Hawke, but it feels like it’s missing pieces. It builds things up then drops them. Solid acting, but overall pretty forgettable. One-and-done watch. Like Oreos without milk — you want more. See more

Henry D @Henry_Domke Mar 12, 2026 A pleasant, low-key film with Ethan Hawke in nearly every scene. Warm and heartfelt, it unfolds like a good short story. See more

Morgan B @RT22953172 Nov 4, 2025 The movie was kind of short, seemed even shorter because he only had the baby for about 25 mins total of the movie. It was kind of slow, not what I expected. See more

Victoria R @Victoria791 Aug 31, 2025 Loved it. I saw a clip on instagram and being a big ethan hawke fan from his days acting in movies like really bites I was unaware of it. It may have not come to Australia being an independent film. Thought his performance was magnificent and the pace of the story was spot on, not to long or dragged out. Actually I kind of wanted more.
