Title: Drive Away Dolls
Review: with the Queen on location in Vermont, I hitched up my big boy pants on Sunday and drove up the country to an abandoned mall and $6 first run move theater in quaintly Marion, Ohio- for a bit of a matinee. This is definitely not high art, BUT it definitely the Coen Brothers, the Great Purveyors of Schlock, which makes it a must-see in my book. Not their best work, but still quite an amusing take on a bad girls road trip from hell. Weird villains, strange roadside attractions, lots of inside lesbian jokes (I think I got them all), and a bizarre cast of characters, and Qualley is quite the hoot (is that accent for real?) . And the plot…I won’t even try. If you are a Coen Bros fan- ya gotta go, if not, well, depends on what else you have to distract you that day. Matt Damon cameo is charmingly weird. At the end, the title gets changed to “Drive Away Dykes”.
