Sentimental, but not too sugary, Bonneville proves there's a road movie for every taste and demographic. While the testosterone-fueled Easy Rider took aim at the young and the disaffected, this female-centric offering targets a more mature, less cynical audience. After her husband, Joe, passes away, Arvilla (two-time Oscar winner Jessica Lange) faces the prospect of homelessness as he neglected to update his will. Her single-minded stepdaughter, Francine (Christine Baranski), now in possession of the property, intends to sell their Pocatello home if she doesn't hand over her father's ashes, so Arvilla and Mormon best friends Margene (Kathy Bates) and Carol (Joan Allen) pile into Joe's refurbished 1966 Bonneville Pontiac convertible with the urn and head to Santa Barbara. On their trip through Bryce Canyon, Lake Powell, the Vegas Strip, and other Western wonders, they meet helpful skateboarder Bo (Victor Rasuk, Raising Victor Vargas) and chivalrous trucker Emmett (Tom Skerritt), who takes a shine to the widowed Margene. Though nothing goes quite as planned, friendship helps smooth the bumpy ride from Idaho to California--and beyond. The characters in Bonneville may be older and wiser than the women of Thelma and Louise or Fried Green Tomatoes, in which Bates appeared, but this smaller-scale effort shares the same sisterly values and the central trio establishes a touching rapport. Supplements include a making-of featurette, deleted and alternate scenes, and a short gag reel. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Rating:  - Bonneville
I am very happy with this DVD. The quality is excellent and I love the story!
Rating: - Well worth watching ....
I rented this movie because I grew up watching these wonderful actresses and am a big fan of all of them ... I wasn't disappointed ... this is a warm & touching film that engrossed me more as it went on ... at times a little slow, but nevertheless, intriguing ... It is well worth watching, if not alone for Joan Allen's wonderful performance as the "straight" but good-hearted friend, not to mention Kathy Bates' usual greatness ...
Rating: - Great Chick Flick
It's a good movie but can leave you wondering if the ending couldn't have been even better. Our star could have been a bit less of a good-two-shoes.
Rating:  - A Trio of Superb Actresses Try to Keep a "Thelma & Louise & Louise"-Inspired Road Movie Afloat
Casting three powerhouse actresses of a certain age in a road movie may sound like a promising concept, but I was disappointed by how insular and monotonous the film feels for a shared journey supposedly focused on self-discovery. Director Christopher N. Rowley and screenwriter Daniel D. Davis, both first-timers to feature films, don't really offer the intimidating trio of Jessica Lange, Kathy Bates and Joan Allen much to work with in terms of character or story development, and were it not for the ...

While I did not seek this film out, I ended up watching it when I had little else to do. I think that is a shame. This turned out to be a wonderful film that didn't hit the viewer over the head with some "age old" message. Instead, this film presented a well delivered story that was touching and unapologetic. Baby-boomers will find many of the themes familiar, as will anyone with a little life experience. Hit the road and watch this film...or vice versa. Recommended!
