The trailers led me to believe that this would be another of those feel-good road trip movies I'd seen a dozen times before, but boy was I way off the mark! Albeit It didn't affect my experience in any shape or form, it did catch me off guard for a moment.
Inspite of the fact that the layout here was quite similar, the kind of subjects it sought to deal with (as compared to similar movies in this realm) are conspicuously different and are more profound in nature. The journey does begin on a familiar note, but with every passing juncture, the tones, the treatment got more and more raw & rough.
Amidst a slew of flaws and a dated feel, the film leaves a strong impression mainly because of two reasons, first, the lead pair; the electrifying chemistry they share, and their laudable acting talents (Susan Sarandon in particular), and for the second, it's the music; the entire soundtrack had a distinctive late 80s' vibe to it, and I adored that.
