Bonneville
Recently widowed Arvilla (Lange) is at a crossroads. Her stepdaughter
Francine (Christine Baranski) has threatened to sell Arvillas Idaho home unless
Arvilla brings her late husbands ashes to California, where theyll be interred
for eternity beside his first wife.
Arvillas friends Margene (Bates) and Carol (Allen) convince Arvilla to
deliver the ashes. But when Arvilla convinces them to go with her in her
husbands 66 Bonneville, the stage is set for an unforgettable journey filled
with hitchhikers, truckers, breathtaking vistas, Vegas jackpots and a powerful
final showdown.
Critic Reviews:
- " Thank heavens for the practical presence and humour of Bates, and the
quiet conservatism of Allen's performance as a pious woman scared of too much
freedom. " – Paul Byrnes
- " The trio's chemistry carries the film far. " –
Richard Propes
- " The actresses make certain you understand their motivations and
quirks. It helps Bonneville step away from Lifetime Television treacle into
something palatable. Perhaps even charming. " – Brian
Orndorf
