Rating:
Meg_Tilly and Christine_Lahti star in this female buddy story that recalls the earlier Thelma and Louise. Marianne (Meg_Tilly) is a quiet waif who has just walked out on her abusive husband. Darly (Christine_Lahti) is a brassy waitress who was a ballsy stripper using the stage name Pillow Talk. Darly is on her way to Alaska to claim a home being built for her and return to the family she abandoned eighteen years earlier. The two women run into each other and Darly allows Marianne to tag along as they journey to Alaska. On the way, they met a collection of colorful characters, including a strange-talking waitress named 66 (Patrika_Darbo), and Walt (James_Gammon), a road guy who recognizes Darly as the former Pillow Talk and wants to pay her big money for sex. The women finally make it to Alaska, where Darly finds that the house she was expecting to find has never been built. The two set up in a house trailer and, with the Alaskian wilderness as a backdrop, they begin to reevaluate their lives. Paul Brenner, Rovi
