[edit] Plot Details

The uptight life of Yale law student Sherman (Michael Shulman, Party of Five) takes an unexpected turn when he decides to follow his girlfriend’s (Lacey Chabert, Not Another Teen Movie) advice and take more chances in life. She meant their relationship. But Sherman’s new spontaneity lands him in the car seat next to Palmer (James LeGros, Sleeper Cell, Ally McBeal), a washed-up, cheerfully eccentric former Olympic athlete.

Dumped and cut off from his mother’s funds, Sherman has to travel to Southern California for an important job opportunity. But with oddball Palmer at the wheel, will he reach his destination before his sanity runs out? The road holds many funny and revealing curves along the way, including a possibility of new love, a gun-toting former gourmet chef (Enrico Colantoni, Veronica Mars) and a chance for the former sportsman to prove himself again. For anybody who ever dreamed of following his/her impulses, Sherman’s Way provides the ultimate clash between snob and slob.
