I did not plan on going to this movie. It came out last week and it was not a draw for me to go to the theater. However, it fit nicely into the schedule this week before Dune Part II and there was only one showing, so I decided to give Drive-Away Dolls a chance.
Sadly, I did not enjoy it very much.
According to IMDB, “Jamie regrets her breakup with her girlfriend, while Marian needs to relax. In search of a fresh start, they embark on an unexpected road trip to Tallahassee. Things quickly go awry when they cross paths with a group of inept criminals.”
Written in part and directed by Ethan Coen, this is a raunchy comedy that, unfortunately, I did not find very funny.
I did find our two main leads, Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan, to be fairly charismatic. I thought both of them did a decent job, but I just did not find much of what they did as funny, and for a comedy, that was a big drawback.
The storyline was weird and so very Coen-like.
And I felt bad for poor Pedro Pascal.
There was a lot of sex and nudity and that is fine. There was just so much lacking in-between the sex scenes. There were so many stupid things that the characters did and it annoyed me badly.
I did not find this the worst thing I have seen, but there were too many things that bothered me compare to the positives.
