A Fare to Remember

"A Fare to Remember" is a totally derivative, almost ridiculous movie, but has a warmth about it that makes it a very effective and upbeat holiday movie. It stars a pretty newcomer, Challen Kates, as a high-powered ad executive who, right before her wedding, has to rush from L. A. to Seattle to keep a client who has rejected every presentation.

She has transportation difficulties from the beginning and seemingly no money. This is the first dumb thing - were there no ATMs anywhere? She must make a fortune.

At any rate, she meets a cab driver (Warner) who looks like a homeless man, and he drives her to her presentation. When she emerges with a huge box of beef jerky (the client's product), he's there to take her to the airport. All flights are canceled, so in order to get to L. A. for her wedding, she hires him to take her there.

Along the way, they bond and learn from each other. It's a very sweet movie though there is absolutely nothing new in it - it combines "Six Days and Seven Nights" and a few other films.

But the chemistry between the stars is good, they're likable, and the acting is good. Look for Jerry Springer as the head of the beef jerky company and a cameo by Karl Malden.

This is a nice film to take in over the holiday season. It's on Lifetime.

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.

A tender movie that represents how our daily life is a catalyst that causes us to change our thoughts, behaviors and emotions into people we're not. This story is a love story where true emotions arise. I credit Malcolm Jamal Warner (Win) and Challen Cates for outstanding performances . A movie definitely worth seeing, a holiday roadtrip that turns into an emotional turn-a-round. I suggest seeing it.

You can tell this is an earlier movie for Malcom Jamal Warner because his acting was not so great but I watch him every week on The Resident and he's a really great anymore so clearly his acting has improved over the years. However, the lead actress in the movie is not great but she's kinda cute. Aside from the bad acting it was a really cute story and I enjoyed it. And Malcom Jamal Warner is beautiful to look at so it's worth it just to look at him lol!

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.
