''Thunder Road'' is an indie 2018 {{Dramedy}} film written by, directed by, and starring {{Creator/Jim Cummings|Filmmaker}} as Officer James Arnaud. Largely dialogue-driven, the film follows Arnaud in the days after his mother's funeral as he begins letting his grief interfere with his job, personal relationships, and custody battle for his daughter.
Based on Cummings' award-winning [[https://vimeo.com/174957219 2016 short of the same name]], both of which get their title from Music/BruceSpringsteen's song from ''Music/BornToRun''. Not to be confused with the 1958 Creator/RobertMitchum film that Springsteen titled his song after.

* ChewingTheScenery: Jim Cummings really lets loose as James Arnauld. A lot of his delivery is just so over-the-top, but it works with the movie's tone.
* CringeComedy: Most of the comedy comes from some creative dialogue in Arnauld's most desperate moments. It's certainly entertaining... but maybe not unflinchingly.

* ItRunsInTheFamily: Jim and his sister share extremely similar mannerisms. They tell stories the same way, often dwelling on details and saying things that make sense in their own heads. However, when Jim does this to other people and they get annoyed or confused with him, he and his sister are on the same wavelength as each other and they talk out the stresses of their mothers passing in the healthiest way that he's talked to just about anyone in the film. They have a genuinely strong relationship and it's clear in how they get along.
