Watch out for it It's a GEM!
it's been so long since I seen this I'm delighted to have finally found it on IMDb.
I loved it. Gentle and well executed and very funny. An absolute gem. I don't' know if it's now available on VHS or DVD but I'll be searching for it.
Both Lasser and Grodin work fantastically well together. The two are very well paired and this is an exercise in how to do comedy without 'hamming' it up. Believable set up and funny outcomes. A rather touching love story which in the beginning was unexpected but very satisfying for any romantics watching it. I only wish there were more of these type of movies with such exceptional talents in them. Bravo!

IT IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE FUNNIEST AND BEST WRITTEN MOVIES OF ALL TIME
The comic timing in this movie is classic. Only Grodin and Lasser could make this film work. It is funny, and sensitive, and the script is wonderful.
I have a very bad copy - that was probably a bootleg from abroad.
I would love to buy this movie - if anyone has any suggestions.

I wanna have this on DVD !
I caught this movie late night on German television. It had the original American voices replaced with German voices, and I fell in the middle of the movie.
But still it was very entertaining.
It's a good old feel-good movie with funny intelligent dialogs.
Very amusing and thought-provoking to see a grown ICT-guy get to know a fuzzy unstable hippie woman in a pregnancy dress.
entertainment for people who like reading books.
I really want this one on DVD !
cheers.
(and 10 lines is too many)

"Do I look fat to you?"
A guy needs to make a car trip from New York to Los Angeles in four days, and advertises in the paper for someone to share the driving. A very talkative but attractive young woman answers the ad, and convinces him to take her along. The movie consists of the comedic interactions on their trip that gradually transform their relationship from one in which he is immediately sorry he brought her along, to the inevitable realization that they are in love, not with those they presumably drove across America to see, but with each other.
The two main characters complemented each other perfectly - he the level headed guy, she the dizzy dame he finally falls for. The dialogue, written by Louise Lasser, was fall-down funny. A certain ability to suspend reality is necessary to get into the spirit of the movie, but for those who can, it is a trip you will remember for a long time.

Funny movie for patient viewers
While many people are bored of this movie, one can still enjoy it. Yes, the plot is told easily: a man and a woman who have never met before drive together through the USA in order save money. That's all. But then, the actors are just great, especially Louise Lasser playing a naive, insecure woman. When I watched this for the first time, it was not very special to me, but when I recently watched this movie again, I continuously laughed about their dialogs and experiences. My favorite scene is in the motel, where they stay over night in the 'wedding suite' (the most expensive room there, even though it's the only one): the clerk says something like "maybe you are hungry?" "yes" "OK then, good night!" This movie is worth watching if one is patient. Otherwise, better switch to a different channel. My vote: 9/10
