Before the Hollywood media fawned over itself by hyping (and sometimes over-hyping) female directors, Abbe Wool directed this gem of a movie. For those that love road trip movies this has a little bit of everything. Charming story line , humanity. quirky characters, and a great soundtrack. The cameos alone : Flea, Dick Rude, Don Cheadle, Arlo Gutherie. Timothy Leary, David Carradine and in quite possibly the greatest cameo ever John Cusack. I hope Abbe Wool gets an opportunity to direct again (it has been like 30 years) because this movie was a blast to watch. When I am with fellow movie geeks, this is one I always recommend.
