Riding in Cars With Boys(2001)- User Reviews

If you expect this movie to be funny, prepare to be disappointed. Ditto if you expect it to be good.
Essentially this movie is a cop-out film about how everyone else in Drew's life ruins her dreams, particularly the males. The thinly-veiled hostility against men is handled poorly by the director and by the actors, from the sneering dialog by the women to the wooden portrayals by the men. A bonus award goes to the guy who portrays her husband, whose motivations are never really clear and who is the most thinly-sketched character in the whole movie. A big problem, since besides Drew he's the most important person in the plot!
If you're a thirteen year old girl this is probably good theater; if you're a fully-matured man or woman you're better off finding something else to watch.
