September 23, 2009This movie is Thelma and Louise with less theatrics. Not as good as T & L, but fun nonetheless.

August 10, 2008A great cast, the movie was enjoyable enough, but dare I say it, it was at times a little.....mmm, a little to mundane. Not enough action, almost like a Thelma and Louise, the menopausal years. I love Lange, Bates, and Allen, but there needed to be more action. Acting was good, ...( read more)

March 5, 2008Thelma & Louise + The Bucket List + P.S. I Love You + Mormon sensibilities = a movie your grandmother should find positively raucous.

August 16, 2009Three wonderful actresses working together is reason enough to see this road movie. The script is nothing special and at times doesn't make the most sense but the ladies make it worth seeing and the scenery along the way is beautiful.

February 25, 2008I just saw this film at an invited screening earlier this evening. I thoroughly enjoyed it and will recommend it, without hesitation, to friends. It has many wistful moments, to be sure, but it is ultimately a very funny movie and goes on my list of "feel good" films to enjoy. If you don't tear up or choke up at least a couple of times, check your heart for "petrification". The three "women in the car", played by Lange, Allen and Bates are each totally believable, and Kathy Bates is terrific in a role that would seem to have been written for her. Baranski is strong in the only role not well-written; her character is too one-dimensional. This is unfortunate, as Baranski is a talented actress. Tom Skerritt is, also, totally at ease in this one and, therefore, completely believable. Why don't we see more of this inordinately talented actor?
