Part rom-com. Part road trip movie. All heart. It's a sweet, smart little film I can't recommend highly enough. When Claire discovers her husband cheating on her, she's predictably distraught. She hails a cabbie and tells him to just drive. Well, the crafty NYC cabbie drives all night and the next morning they're out in the middle of Pennsylvania. At this point, she decides to drive across the country and visit her ailing father in California, cost be damned. A series of adventures and misadventures ensues. The couple get into all sorts of predicaments. Along the way, they discover their true selves. The couple work well together, perhaps because they're husband and wife in real life (Amber and Sam Jaeger). Add the backdrop of beautiful scenery and a sensitive folky soundtrack by Jordan Becket AKA Bootstraps, and you've got a winning film that deserves wider recognition.
4 out of 5 stars
