    It reimagines the buddy film with such freshness and vigor that the genre seems positively new.

    This is a movie to love, that touches you in places you never suspected, that shows you that the road less traveled is the road to your dreams.

    Begins like an episode of "I Love Lucy" and ends with the impact of "Easy Rider."

The films humour is hilarious yet still manages to keep that feeling of desperation that develop over the two women. And last but not least that ending, one of the best I have seen in years. Truly a classic film and something everybody should experience.… Expand

    Piece of crap, as entertainment it is not in fact "pretty darn good", maybe if you're a dullard. A lame film trying to show some strong female characters that fails miserably and is a sad inferior version of several other, better movies with male stars.… Expand
