Drive-Away Dolls, a film by Ethan Coen and co-written by Tricia Cooke, combines tongue-in-cheek lesbian humor with a signature Coen bumbling-criminals plot, featuring Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan as mismatched pals on a distraction-prone, comically violent road trip to Florida. The film's bawdy, quippy, and slick nature sometimes leads to it slipping and face-planting, but overall, it's a raunchy, dizzy road-trip comedy that's a little too slick for its own good.

Director Ethan Coen, in collaboration with Tricia Cooke, delivers a raunchy and violent lesbian-centered crime caper comedy in "Drive-Away Dolls," paying homage to hard R drive-in B movies. The film follows a free-spirited lesbian, Jamie, and her uptight friend, Marian, on a road trip with a dodgy car and a valuable briefcase in the trunk, leading to a chase involving bad dudes, a senator, and a manhood-related secret. Despite being a disposable and forgettable effort, the film retains the quirkiness of the Coen brand and is influenced in style by Tricia Cooke, making it worth a watch for fans of the Coen Brothers' work.
