Mags and Julie Go on a Road Trip.

It's no secret this film is a trip (it says so right there in the title), but the journey it takes you on is full of surprises! When Mags learns about her unexpected inheritance, a cabin in the Northwoods, her best friend Julie insists she escape her demanding boss and thankless job to check it out. Working nonstop the entire road trip, Mags reluctantly discovers how much her job has changed her life when Julie finally unloads some painful truths. Then, only after she takes the ultimate risk, does Mags learn the true value of friendships and pursue her dreams. Showcasing Wisconsin's vibrant urban settings and natural wonders along the way, "Mags and Julie Go On a Road Trip" tells the story of a woman who had to get lost to find herself, and that's a story we can all relate to these days.

This film has a great story behind the scenes. Female directed, written and produced. It's funny, touching and heartwarming. Reminded me of "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" appreciated it especially after the drama of 2020. Worth watching this Independent film!!!

I was excited to see this, as it was filmed in Wisconsin, in several areas I'm familiar with. It starts out well, fun seeing the Third Ward and downtown Milwaukee. But then it goes down hill and drags quite a bit. Some heavy editing and more developed characters could have really helped. The end was fairly satisfying, but I was fine with missing long stretches, which my husband still watched. There were promising stretches but then it digressed into predictable and slow too often.

This flick is truly a dud; open a dictionary, look up "dud", and there this movie will be.

The two supposed gal pals are not witty, not funny, not even likeable.

It appears that the gal pals were asked to do a lot of ad libbing - here's the setup, do something, roll the camera - and, generally, they let the camera roll way too long on any given scene setup. Consequently, the pace of this thing has the consistency of a slow mud slide.

There's a lot of borrowing from other things, like a bad boss/overburdened underling scenario recalling the Devil Wears Prada - altho once you recall and compare the actia; DWP/MerylStreep/Anne Hathaway prototype to what this crowd does w. The same setup, you'll just want to turn if off and put them out of their misery.

Poor Milwaukee. :-) lol.

I have to wonder if I was seeing the same film as everyone else. This was a miserable, overacted, weak-mnded plot with wooden actors and little if any, comedy scale.

The best was the dude who got $500 bucks for doing nothing, while wearing 2/3 of his super cut shorts. His screen time encompassed all the fun in this alleged comedy performance. It was a performance, all right.

A painful lesson in how to write, direct, cast, produce, costume, edit and release a steaming pile. I have seen broadcast news that had more humor involved. Nothing was funny, or made me laugh. I turned it off after almost 1/2 through. Couldn't take another moment.
