"Go Further", the new film by award-winning documentary filmmaker Ron Mann, explores the idea that the single individual is the key to large-scale transformational change. The film follows actor Woody Harrelson as he takes a small group of friends on a bio-fuelled bus-ride down the Pacific Coast Highway. Their goal? To show the people they encounter that there are viable alternatives to our habitual, environmentally-destructive behaviors. The travellers include a yoga-teacher, a raw food chef, a hemp-activist, a junk-food addict, and a college student who suspends her life to impulsively hop aboard. We see the hostility these pilgrims encounter, and watch as their ideas are challenged from within and without. We meet an entrepreneur who runs a paper company that does not harm trees; an organic farmer who believes Nature is his partner; a man who teaches environmental activists to use humor as a strategic weapon. And throughout, we see Harrelson test his belief that the transformation of our planet begins with the small personal transformations that are within the grasp of each and every one of us, after which... we'll go further.

| L.A. WeeklyElla TaylorWithout the actor’s name and amiably demented grin, Go Further would be an unspeakably tedious and preachy travelogue. With them, this insupportably long home movie, unremarkably directed by Ron Mann, is merely dull. |
| Jam! MoviesJim SlotekA needed dose of levity for the eco-movement. |
| Sympatico.caAngela BaldassarreA preachy and conceited ode to living healthy, film smacks of such precious proselytizing that this viewer was tempted to eat junk food just for spite. |
| OregonianMarc MohanOverall, the trip successfully embodies the spirit of the original Magic Bus man, Ken Kesey, whom these modern-day pranksters visit in a poignant scene filmed just months before his death. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenWoody Harrelson and his gang are entertaining enough, but what % of Americans can be satisfied from organic farms? Hemp fuel? |
| Village VoiceJorge MoralesGo Further meanders--narratively as well as geographically--all over the map. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneDavid ElliottThis yeasty, yogic, sweetly yappy film could change your life, perhaps starting with the 'butter substitute' on your popcorn. |
| New York TimesDana StevensMr. Harrelson seems appealingly goodhearted, but his naïve idealism leaves him always on the edge of self-parody. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonA warmly spirited travel diary of a movie. |
| TV GuideMaitland McDonaghBy the time the tour is over, it's hard not to admire Harrelson for embracing easily mocked ideals and suggesting by example that it's better to be part of a small, personal solution than do nothing because the problem is so vast and intimidating. |
