Michelle Pfeiffer is Lurene, bringing her neighbor down to Love Field in Dallas to meet the Kennedys. and the neighbor DOES! but then... as we know, it all went downhill from there. the death of President John Kennedy affected everyone differently. Lurene jumped on the bus to attend the funeral. and meets Paul (Dennis Haysbert) and his daughter on the bus. and then... more things go haywire. and they all have to get through it together. Lurene means well, but keeps making things worse. it's hard to watch, as they get in more and more trouble. we can really feel their pain as they navigate the obstacles. like her crazy husband. and the cops. and the racists. they are on a trip that feels like it'll never end. it's very well done, if you have the stomach for it. Directed by Jonathan Kaplan. Written by Don Roos. has written and directed film and television.
