Touching and beautifully done, and there is such chemistry between the actors. A real uplifter and a truly emotionally satisfying love story. And who says there are no big laughs in this movie? I break out in a HUGE smile when I think of how exasperated Charles got while Louise was "coaching" him while he attempted to change the flat tire. And the story about the lady who wore a tomato pin, and the bit in the car where Louise says her name is Little Connie. Or what about when she's calling her boyfriend in California, Roger Porchnik, and she has to leave a message with his answering service: "Tell him Jane called. Yes, Jane. Jane, from his RELATIONSHIP." I can't write anymore-I'm laughing too hard!!!! YES-WE MUST HAVE THIS ON DVD PLEEEEEEEEEAASSSEEEEE!!!!!

Why hasn't this been released on DVD? A unique comedy with loads of belly laughs. Louise Lasser and Charles Grodin are perfect in this little known cult favorite. The writing is brilliant. Two strangers are thrown together in a trek cross country by car. It turns out that each is a lost soul in his/her own way. It's a beautiful, funny adventure that will leave you feeling good for a few days after seeing it. Some of the scenes will haunt you and have you cracking up when you think of them. Two scenes that are classic are: a trip to a drive through restaurant and at the phone booth of a gas station. If you get the chance you should definitely see this. You won't forget it. PLEASE give it to us on DVD.
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.

One of those, "Why was this made?" movies. The romance is very hard to swallow. It is one of those romances, that, suddenly, "click" - they are in love. The movie is filled with long pauses and uncomfortable moments - the drive-in restaurant being the most notable. Charles Grodin does a credible job but for most of the movie it's just him and Louise Lasser. Ask yourself, do you want to watch Grodin with his neurosis and Lasser with her neurosis together for a hour and half?
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)
