Full Plot Details

The distressed emotions that Arvilla Holden are feeling upon the death of her husband Joe Holden are compounded by dealing with Joe's adult daughter, Francine Packer. Joe and Arvilla were lovingly married for twenty years, and although they lived in Pocatello, Idaho - Arvilla's home town - they traveled the world on one adventure after another. Joe was from Santa Barbara, California, where Francine and the extended Holden family still live. Arvilla is certain that Joe wrote a new will after they got married, but since that will is nowhere to be found, the official will is the one that Francine has in her possession, which outlines certain things that Arvilla knows Joe would not now have wanted. That will states that Joe's embalmed body is to be interned with Francine's mother in Santa Barbara, despite Joe already having been cremated. Arvilla knows that Joe would have wanted his ashes scattered into the wind. The will also deeds the house in which Arvilla and Joe lived their entire marriage to Francine, which would leave Arvilla not only homeless, but shut out of the house in which she has strong and loving memories. Francine offers a settlement with Arvilla: Joe's ashes for the house. Arvilla reluctantly agrees. Arvilla plans on bringing the ashes to the memorial service in Santa Barbara in one week's time, accompanied by her two best friends, free wheeling and single Margene Cunningham, and "perfect" mom Carol Brimm, all three women being Mormon of varying devotion. The plan is to drive the three hours from Pocatello to Salt Lake City, Utah, to catch a flight to Santa Barbara. But upon their departure from Pocatello in Joe's refurbished Pontiac Bonneville convertible, Arvilla takes the three on a road trip instead to all the places she and Joe loved en route to Santa Barbara. This trip gives Arvilla time to decide ultimately what she will do regarding her deal with Francine, which is affected by her time with Margene and Carol, and by encounters they have with people they meet along the way, most specifically a young man named Bo who is on a search for his biological father who he has never met, and a long haul trucker named Emmett.

Movie Reviews

Las Vegas Review-Journal - 9/10 by Carol Cling... sticks to a soothingly familiar itinerary, providing a welcome showcase for Jessica Lang, Kathy Bates and Joan Allen. As expected, they prove mighty good company along the way %u2014 which is fortunate, because there's nothing much else that qualifies
NewsBlaze - 8/10 by Prairie MillerThe director needed to get a better grip on the destination of this scattered narrative, along with the actual journey. Though the sheer pleasure of Bonneville is simply watching these three gifted actresses work their magic on the movie.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - 8/10 by Michele KennerThe characters, situations and resolutions all are predictable and fit like a warm, stretched-out sweater with holes in the elbows.
Sydney Morning Herald - 8/10 by Paul ByrnesThank heavens for the practical presence and humour of Bates, and the quiet conservatism of Allen's performance as a pious woman scared of too much freedom.
Kansas City Star - 7/10 by Loey LockerbyBonneville is so bland and predictable, it literally takes two Oscar-winners and a multiple nominee to give it any real entertainment value.
Newsday - 7/10 by Jan StuartThe kind of comfy, reassuring take on human relations that makes cynics want to growl at the stranger sitting next to them.
Film Journal International - 6/10 by Lewis BealeBonneville insults its talented leads by casting them in parts they could have--and probably have--done in their sleep.
Donne Tempo - 6/10 by Christian TotoBonneville gets by - barely - on the strength of its three leading ladies.
eFilmCritic.com - 6/10 by Brian OrndorfThe actresses make certain you understand their motivations and quirks. It helps Bonneville step away from Lifetime Television treacle into something palatable. Perhaps even charming.
San Francisco Chronicle - 6/10 by David WiegandWhen you've got three of the nation's best actresses in leading roles, it doesn't matter if your script is only adequate and the audience really has to squint here and there to believe what's happening on the screen.
