"Look, tomorrow you're
gonna wake up, you're still gonna be Charlie Driggs... So why
don't we enjoy it
while we can. And then tomorrow, no more
Lulu." - Lulu
Hankel
Why watch this? Most
of us live lives that are less than adventurous. We wanna cut
loose!
Plot Summary:
Uptight investment banker Charles Driggs' uneventful life takes
a sudden turn when he encounters free-spirited Lulu. What begins
as a mischievous adventure quickly evolves into a spontaneous
road trip filled with unexpected twists and turns. Their journey
becomes complicated when Lulu's unpredictable and dangerous
ex-convict husband unexpectedly reappears, forcing Charles to
confront unforeseen challenges.
Dad's Preview:
Who doesn't want to be kidnapped from their regular lives, at
least for a few hours? When Lulu
shanghais Charles you just know that neither person will be the
same afterwards. Jeff Daniels plays the perfect uptight NYC
banker and Melanie Griffith steals the show as the impulsive
Lulu. It is the perfect oil and vinegar romance.
