"Wild Ride: The Bawdy Joy of 'Drive-Away Dolls' Review"
TL;DR Summary
"Drive-Away Dolls," directed by Ethan Coen without his brother Joel, follows two friends on a road trip from Philadelphia to Florida as they come into possession of a briefcase wanted by dangerous men. The film, written by Coen and his wife, Tricia Cooke, features highbrow references and petty crimes but ultimately falls short with sluggish pacing, overblown performances, and an inert storyline, despite attempts at mixing genres and layered references.
