This movie was a suprise for me while I was surfing from channel to channel... I don't know why but it filled in me with warmth and happiness. This is what a high budget movie can not do mostly. I liked it, this is "a must see" one...
Great Movie for anytime of the year but even more so at the end of year holidays. However if you have nothing better to do than trying to chase a happy go lucky FART in the wind then just try finding a copy of it on the internet. In fact I think that they should rename this movie just that: A Fart In The Wind. Why? Because getting a copy of it is nearly next to impossible. No DVD or VHS tapes where never made for purchase. Go figure... The black entertainment Bouncetv channel aired it Christmas Eve 2014 but I don't have connections with anyone who had that channel so once again it escaped me. Good acting from Malcolm Jamal Warner and Challen Cates. If you can hook me up please email me rudolph.zoom3@gmail.com with title in search bar. Nothing should be this HARD to find. I have spent at least fifty hours trying to find a hint of the movie as to where it might be found. Right now I am trying hard to just make the ten line minimum required to post on this site in order to find my most dire requested movie. I hope this is enough lines. So enjoy the movie if you can find it and inhale it quickly or you will miss even the slightest whiff of the SWEET SMELLING FART:-) Again PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let me know if you do find it. It would make you my new best friend PLUS I WILL GIVE A FIRST ONE QUOTA "THANK YOU GIFT" OF $25 TO THE FIRST PERSON MAKING IT AVAILABLE INTO MY HANDS OR CLICKABLE VIEWABLE FILE READY TO CLICK AND SEE. NOT JUST SUM DOWNLOAD SITE INFORMATION. IF SHIPPING IS INVOLVED I WILL GLADLY PAY IT TOO. Aloha Rudy
This is a light, easy-to-watch film about a lady on her way to her wedding being forced to hire a cab from Seattle to LA. I watched it one morning, as I was just waking up, eating my breakfast. Excellent way to wake up......
We know something will happen between them; we know she is difficult to please; we know she will change before the journey and the film ends.
Along the way, we notice many things:
All in all a nice film.....
We know something will happen between them; we know she is difficult to please; we know she will change before the journey and the film ends.
Along the way, we notice many things:
- Cameo by un-credited Karl Malden as Corporate Vice President
- "The cell-phone can find us" scene from 6 days 7 nights, repeated in a highway setting.
- The highway breakdown scene from Steve Martin's "Planes, Trains, Automobiles" remade.
- Challen Kates, although she has not done many movies so far, is a very energetic player as well as being very cute (we can't say anything else about her real character, can we?). Why doesn't she do more films?
- One would think that to get money, all she needs to do is drive to an ATM so why doesn't she? And do all cabbies give this MUCH credit to clients?
- Although there is plenty of scope to further extend the two main characters, the author doesn't. That's just too bad.
All in all a nice film.....
I thought this movie was too absurd for me to finish watching it. The premise was too silly and predictable. I didn't make it far into the movie.
Let me see. She is obviously older than the cabbie (unless she is a lot younger than she looks). He is black and she is white. She makes more money than him (he is only a cabbie). That's 3 of society's most statistically failed unions all rolled up in one and we are supposed to pretend they have a chance in hell. She would be better off marrying the guy she doesn't love.
I only watched it partially because I love MJW as an actor. His acting was superb. Hers, meh! It was OK but the premise is too silly. Didn't see the end. Couldn't make it there so I don't know if it ended differently from the way I predicted the ending would be. I can't imagine any black woman liking this movie. There is something sickening about watching a black man catering to a white woman like that. And an old one at that. PLEASE! Not in the real world!

Challen Cates does a wonderful job depicting a conflicted bride, torn between the challenges that await her professionally, the memories of the freedom she thought she would have when in college (inspired by a famous author) and the safety of her pending marriage to a man she really doesn't love. This movie is definitely worth seeing--- as predictable as it may be, the acting is inspiring and real chemistry exists between Challen Cates and Malcolm Jamaal Warner.
Did you know
