Funny and heartwarming

Cybil shepherd stars as rose, a woman with an illness that sets out on road trip. It isn't clear until about halfway through the movie why she takes the road trip, but it's heartbreaking why. On the way though, there are tons of laughs to be had and a final romance to be experienced. This movie's ending isn't happy. In fact rose falls into tropes that make her character sometimes downright frustrating, but we also have to remember who we are dealing with here- a woman grappling with the end of her life. She's not exactly rational. As a person with a disability myself I really enjoyed this film, especially considering I saw it at a q&a with cybil shepherd and it was really funny to watch her talk about struggling with things we deal with all the time. No spoilers but you'll see the moments I mean. Great film.

Simply not good...

Dumb dialogue, miscast, not good directing. Too bad...

I had hoped for SO much more!

I admit that I watched this movie mostly because of Cybill Shepherd and James Brolin. Despite the varying reviews, I had hoped that perhaps it was one of those diamond in the rough films that only people who appreciate independent or more unusual films would like. Unfortunately, this is a movie that moves very slowly, and in the end is not at all satisfying.

For me, the main problem was that Cybill Shepherd seems to have forgotten how to act. I've seen her in other things, and really enjoyed her.

In this, however, she shows hardly any emotion whatsoever. Most of the time she has a completely blank expression on her face. And because she is the main character, I found it very hard to get into the story at all. I don't know if it's how she was directed or what.

In any case, my advice is to steer clear of this one.

O Rose, Thou art sick!

This movie could've used a little levity. I think that about a lot of these movies, even the sad ones. It's a shame when decent actors are handed a script that has more blank stares than dialog. More focus on the A-list actors and less of the B's would have made this worthwhile.

Depressing and Slow

I wanted to love it because I like both Shepherd and Brolin. While it had some wittiness to it and uplifting aspects, it's slow and overall depressing. If you feel like wallowing in a depressed state, watch it. Hated the pace and the overall slow pace of it too. #Boo
