Plot Summary: Two best friends, Thelma and Louise, decide to escape their mundane lives for a weekend getaway. Their plans take an unexpected turn when an act of self-defense leads them on the run from the law. As they flee towards Mexico, the women rediscover their strength and the unbreakable bond of their friendship while navigating a series of perilous encounters.

Dad's Preview: My mom absolutely loved this flick. When I finally watched it, I could see why. It was fiercely female, and very personal to her. It follows two women who are tired of "taking it" from men and the system. They set out on a road adventure determined to live... for possibly the first time in their lives! My Mom was the perfect wife and mother. All that got her was a lousy divorce, and a broken heart. Sarandon and Davis are perfect for the lead roles.
