    I found it a bit tiresome and unconvincing, just drive off the cliff already!

    Very entertaining! Sarandon and Davis were perfect choices for the characters they played, and the rest of the cast was good as well.

    A chick flick with a difference! The unfortunate escalation of events turns into an unlikely adventure of a lifetime when an innocent road trip turns into a unexpected rebelious crime spree.

    Great adventure movie. Thelma and Louise are best friends who get up to a lot of mischief when they're on the run - from murder, armed robbery to blowing up an oil tanker! Brad Pitt makes a cameo - he is very hot! Great road trip scenes through the Grand Canyon.

    "You shoot off a guy's head with his pants down, believe me, Texas ain't the place you want to get caught!"

    It's very rare to witness such a chemistry between two actors. Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis were just spectacular making both their caracters lovable despite everything that happened to them during the movie. Pity for both of them that Jodie Foster was doin the performance of h...( read more)er lifetime in Silence of the Lambs and deprived them of well deserved oscars. Road movies are very hard to make but this one succeeded tremendously because of its brilliant screenplay. The thing that will really blow you away and project the film to another level is the climax ending. Classic Scene.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

What sets Thelma & Louise aside from the great central tradition of the road picture is that the heroes are women this time. full review

March 19, 2003
Nick Schager, Slant Magazine

Thelma and Louise's feminist call to arms winds up sounding woefully simple-minded. full review

May 12, 2001
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

This wincingly funny, pertinent and heartbreaking road movie means to get under your skin, and it does. full review

    Super awesome, you haven't lived until you've seen it! I believe it's in the top 10 most romantic movies ever up to date.
