Road Trip =
More Than a
Chick Flick
Three women who don't know each other head out from the east coast heading for California. Jane (Whoopi Goldberg), a disgruntled lesbian band singer, Robin (Mary-Louise Parker), a secretive real estate agent, and Holly (Drew Barrymore), a pregnant gal whose boyfriend is an abusive druggie, are each trying to escape their pasts.
The gals get as far as Arizona when Robin falls ill and her new friends learn she has AIDS. Holly falls in love with a cop (Matthew McConaughey). And Jane is kind of the glue that holds them together.
Also appearing are Anita Gillette as Robin's mother and Estelle Parsons as a psychic. Plus some good tunes by Annie Lennox, Joan Armatading, Stevie Nicks, Sheryl Crow, Sarah McLachlan, The Indigo Girls, Pretenders, Bonnie Raitt, Melissa Etheridge, Buffy Sainte-Marie, and many others.
Directed by Herbert Ross.
Run time: 1 hour, 55 minutes
Rated R.
My personal rating: B
