Viewing Notes

Third and final movie in Paul’s watch party on Kast (“road movie” theme) and also from 1991 (all three were from 1991!). Unlike the previous film DELUSION, I really enjoyed this weird light romantic road comedy. It has a quirky and fantastical approach with characters that are unique and fun. Like, I’d want to go on a road trip with them. I think this could be a good movie night flick for the whole family. :)
