Getting cold feet just before their nuptials, Ryan and his fiancee embark on separate trips to Europe with their friends. Ryan realizes he wants to reunite with his betrothed, but the search is complicated by the fact that they never exchanged itineraries. To top it off, Ryan's journal disappears, then is posted online by the person who took it. Ryan, who dreams of becoming a published author, travels from Thailand to Canada with his friends in search of the culprit and his journal.

Backpackers is an intermittently funny buddy comedy that likens thumbing your way through Europe to a crazy Las Vegas-style party scene. Go to Full Review
