Full Plot Details

For her entire life, twenty-seven year old Marianne Johnson has been on the move, the decisions which she's made as an adult which have been total failures, such as her second most recent marriage to Curtis Johnson, which brought her to Normal, Wyoming. However, she has an optimistic view of life, always believing that each decision she makes will be the right one. She is a linear thinker and despite being bright in this regard, she has no life or job skills, never having had a paying job besides a short stint in the army where she met Curtis. Conversely, thirty-eight year old Darly Peters wears her failures openly on her sleeve, she bulldozing her way through life. Currently a cocktail waitress in Normal, waitressing which dominates her resumé, Darly receives news that her ex-husband, who she left eighteen years ago, has died and has deeded the house which they were building at the time in remote Palmer Valley, Alaska to her. She believes this house will be the first time in her life she will feel settled. Seeing in Marianne a stranger in need, Darly offers Marianne a ride to Portland, where she will be staying with her judgmental sister and brother-in-law. As that move to Portland also proves to be another disaster in Marianne's life, she decides to accept Darly's invitation to go to Alaska with her. Along the way, they get into one adventure after another, meeting people who may affect their view of life. What will also affect their lives is Darly's Alaska past which leads to life in Alaska not quite what they were expecting.

Movie Reviews

Newsweek - 9/10 by David AnsenSolomon's screenplay treads a delicate line between wit and preciousness; at its weakest, Zwick's direction goes for the canned poignance of TV. Beut there's a lot to relish in this funny, bittersweet, sharply written comedy.
Hartford Courant - 7/10 by Malcolm JohnsonWhen Christine Lahti is in the driver's seat, this female road saga can abruptly take off like a car that stops choking and sputtering and leaps into a breathtaking overdrive.
Spirituality and Practice - 7/10 by Frederic and Mary Ann BrussatBittersweet comedy about two hurt women who heal each other after finding a place they can call home.
User Review - 10/10 by Seph NThe difference between moving from place to place, running away and finding where you belong. Call it a chick flick but it's the human condition regardless of gender
User Review - 10/10 by Ellie IChristine Lahti is an unsung hero who has never really gotten her due. This is the alternate universe 'Thelma and Louise'.
User Review - 10/10 by Alice FBRILLIANT film - one of my all time faves...Christine lahti has never been better in this thoughtful, funny and sad feel good chick flick...'sometimes the only way to find where you're going is to lose your way...' here here indeed !!!
User Review - 10/10 by Tyler PI loved this show I've always felt out of places and never knowing where to stop and where is the right place to be in life, so if you feel a little lost and enjoy a realistic movie about to people who total oposites but become friends this is a show for you
User Review - 10/10 by Margaret PTwo of the best actors around, I know Meg Tilly has retired to writing books and she's good at that too, and I just love Christine Lahti. I like this way better than Thelma and Louise, even though T&L has it's merits, I adore quirk more than just about anything! This film has a high quirk factor.
User Review - 10/10 by Mitchell KThis movie is excellent, really well written and acted, the director is one of the best in the last 25 years. This is Thelma and Louise done MUCH better and with a far better story.
User Review - 10/10 by Stephen MThis movie is awesome! Funny, heartwarming and amazing.
