Drive-Away Dolls
It’s 1999 in Philadelphia. Lesbians, crooks, roadtrip, briefcase, & basket… oh my!
Marian (Geraldine Viswanathan) plans to visit her aunt in Tallahassee, Florida. After breaking up with her girlfriend Sukie (Beanie Feldstein), Jamie (Margaret Qualley) decides to tag along on her BFF’s roadtrip. They go to a one-way car rental to get a vehicle. Unfortunately, Tallahassee is the secret code word for these 3 criminals to obtain this special vehicle with a briefcase & basket stashed in the trunk. When the criminals arrive too late, they must chase down the unsuspecting girls to get their merchandise. It’s R rated drama/comedy for language & sexual content. I️ would have never guessed the contents of the briefcase & basket in this fun but weird roadtrip film. Pedro Pascal & Matt Damon have bit parts.
Alien gives it 2½ “flat tire” stars out of 4.
