Doubtless it will frighten some unprepared viewers but they'll never again dismiss old ladies as mere spectators in life. She launches herself into it with gusto and never lets up. There may be few parts available for actresses her age but this one is worth ten standard leading lady roles.

The cinematography brings out the best in a series of beautiful landscapes and production standards are high throughout. Luke Wilson, Maya Rudolph, Dax Shepard, Robert Musgrave, Terry Crews, Anthony Campos, David Herman, Sonny. There are times when it takes the slapstick a little too far and breaks the mood, times when events seem just a little too contrived, and some of the supporting characters are clichéd, but its good-heartedness makes it easy to forgive. It should have wide appeal to romance fans of all stripes. Out goes the Marianne Faithful in comes kd lang, though the film doesn't appear to be targeted at an exclusively lesbian audience. Dot, meanwhile, is seriously ailing, giving the film an urgency and a painfully serious side that Ridley Scott never seemed fully willing to engage with. The hitchhiker may not represent the kind of sexual temptation Brad Pitt did, but there's certainly sexual tension and a whole lot of sexually explicit humour. Stella is a gleefully crude dyke who could give Malcolm Tucker a run for his money in a creative swearing contest. So far, so Thelma And Louise, but this film pulls fewer punches. So they flee together in her truck, picking up charming young male hitchhiker (Ryan Doucette) along the way. When Stella realises it's possible for two women to marry in Canada, she thinks this may offer a solution to their problems, creating a legal bond that could prevent them being separated. Now Dot's granddaughter wants to put her in a care home, tricking her into signing over power of attourney.
Stella (Olympia Dukakis) and Dot (Brenda Fricker) have lived together for 31 years. So it's refreshing that one of the first high-profile ones should be so distinctive, and should present a romance that's different in another way - both its protagonists are in their eighties. On the road they pick up a young, male hitchhiker.Do you believe gay couples should be allowed to marry? If you're a filmmaker, it's a no-brainer - it opens a whole new vein of romantic comedies telling the same old story with just that little twist so they can pretend we haven't seen them before.
