Test T I watched this on DVD recently, where it was titled 'Along For The Ride'. Some of the scenes are light, fun and enjoyable to watch, but there are other scenes which are very slow, dull and tedious. The story is ok, the cast are accomplished performers, and it has a good soundtrack, so the basics are covered. The problem is that the movie seems uncertain about what it is trying to achieve. I would have liked it to have been an upbeat 80's road trip romantic comedy which at times it is, but there are strong mental health and relationship themes throughout which prevent it from being this, and force a more serious tone. These themes eventually expand to consume the entire movie spoiling the chemistry established between the characters in the lighter scenes. It feels conflicted, and at times it gets really melodramatic, like a low budget daytime soap opera. If these scenes had been contained, the movie would have been more concise and benifited from a shorter run time. As it is, I liked about 20% of this film which is just not enough to recommend it.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Frances H I really liked this movie-the story was sweet, even if bittersweet in many ways. As someone who grew up with a parent who had bouts of mental illness, I can really relate to this story, and thought it was well-scripted and well acted by a really good cast. The movie had a sympathetic treatment of the mentally ill as people, who still have thoughts and feelings, hopes and dreams, just like anybody else with other kinds of illnesses, or even people without serious health problems, and I liked that about this film.
