Unsolved Mysteries goes On the Road as nose-ringed Harmony and goatee-sporting Adam hitchhike from Montreal to Vancouver Island to meet the mother who left them in their father's care 16 years ago. Though technically fairly well done and emotionally moderately interesting, their story is, at its core, somewhat dreary: all the principles are jobless and/or homeless and/or alcoholic, and we never really do discover why the mother abandoned them, or where they had "advertised" to find her in the first place. Because this central issue is not resolved, the whole thing just kind of falls flat. Not a necessary purchase. Aud: J, H, P. (K. Glaser)
