Audience Member I've got not much to say about this film, it has a very original storyline which i enjoyed, good character relationships, I got to see Lea Thompson in a new light (littuly wayhay) Err it was a heartwarming, drama filled story and its a nice one to watch on a boring afternoon. It teaches you to be open about yourself to people and it helps find yourself as much as the character founds themselves and eachother, it's worth a watch. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Heartfelt but terribly cliched road movie about tolerance and family during the AIDS crisis. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member solid, unspectacular bicycle road movie without all the emotional depths it desperately tries to create. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A bit hammy & clichéd, but still nice. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
