The incredibly unrealistic portrayal of Maya was offputting. REAL poor kids survived on Vienna Sausages and Spam, know how to navigate BBQ joints, and would NEVER SNEER DOWN ON THE WORKING CLASS. EVER. It would have been far better to have her be an insufferable spoiled brat rich kid with the attitude she displayed and how far she sneered down at the people. I don't care how she was later or if she changed, her entire persona from the start is wrong to the point it ruins the movie. Likewise, it's almost impossible to remotely beleive the male lead would be at all familiar with middle class and lower road trips, road trip culture, etc. The writers clearly live in an isolated upper class world out of touch with the scenario and characters they created.
