Movie Reviews:
- CinemaSerf: “Jamie” (Margaret Qualley) embarks on a road trip with her rather het-up friend “Marian” (Geraldine Viswanathan) to Tallahassee. A roadside puncture causes them to explore the boot for the spare tyre and let’s just say what they find isn’t quite the same thing – though maybe just as rubbery. Meantime, Colman Domingo and his two henchmen are quickly hot on their trail seeking that very thing. A few vaguely comedic escapades now ensue as the two women start to realise their relationship could be more than that of just friends and that there could well be an opportunity to make a few quid from their newly found treasure. Joey Slotnick and CJ Wilson try their best as the goons but otherwise this is a thinly stretched comedy that relies far too much on the supposed shocks or comedy from it’s lesbian theme and nowhere near enough on any degree of originality with the script. It vacillates between the dull and crass, and neither Domingo nor Matt Damon make anything like enough of a contribution to make much difference to the well travelled path the story takes. If you’re at all discerning about what makes you laugh then this won’t be for you, sorry.
- r96sk: ‘Drive-Away Dolls’ is a fairly fun time.
- It’s a pretty straightforward movie, one that moves along at a decent pace and tells its story well enough. Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan give good performances, Qualley overacts a bit sometimes but as the film progressed I enjoyed her more and more. The editing is something I feel similarly about, some bits aren’t the best imo.
- All in all, it works. The relatively short run time is a big help, admittedly.
