Excellent but underrated film

Crappy film

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

For those old enough to have experienced 'Easyrider', Me and Will holds no new vibes. I think it a true copy of this very famous 1969-movie. It is admitted to be so, by the way. What remains, is enjoying the nice American landscape the two bikers are travelling through. A short study on the differences between Me and Will and Easyrider also provides some entertainment: two girls (1999) against two guys (1969), a deeper explanation of the youth- and drugproblems compared to 1969, and a different death by one of the bikers. In 1969 he is shot, in 1991 she gets an overdose. For the fans of Traci Lords: she has a tiny role as a waitress, and does well.

Maybe this is the celluloid version of the "vanity press." Whatever you call it, DON'T call it the "female version of 'Easy Rider' and DON'T call it "one of the most perfect independent films out there." Two words...it sucked!Have you ever been watching what looked like would be a good movie, and suddenly found yourself rooting AGAINST the two lead characters - virtual cardboard cutouts completely devoid of any charm, energy and acting talent? Well, watch this piece of crap and you will have that experience, just like I did! Plot? Nah...just something an 8-year old might slap together on a handheld during an afternoon stuck indoors on a rainy day.Where was that Cary Loftin guy from Spielberg's old TV movie "Duel?" He could have ended this movie in the first 15 minutes, with a high-speed chicks-on-choppers flattening scene, with the gas tanker truck then jackknifing and rolling, ending it all in a blazing inferno...roll credits and the audience would have stood up and cheered! Sounds like Oscar material for a short film...Too bad that didn't happen. Watch this "movie" at your own risk!Rating? Huh? Zip.

This has to be one of the best independent films I have ever seen. Sherry Rose and Melissa Bher are truly two very talented writers. The simple combination of two women escaping from a mental institution, their developing friendship, and what emotion means to even a couple of druggie biker-chicks makes for a perfect drama. Jane's emotional chains to her father reflect how even childhood problems can haunt you forever, as does Will's relationship with her obsessive compulsive mother. Also, the cracking of an emotional shell of two hardend bikers may appeal to some drama hounds. The acting was four stars, even from a very tatooed Patrick Dempsey, as the boyfriend of Jane. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone looking for something to satisfy an uncontrollable urge to see a fantastic film.

I stumbled across this film on the Sundance Channel one night and got hooked right away. It's a simply told, yet amazingly powerful and affecting story about two women who find a common bond, form a friendship and take to the open road on their motorcycles for a journey on which both will confront a few of their personal demons, leading to a poignant yet somewhat uplifting conclusion.I'm surprised that this movie never made it to theatres. Sherrie Rose and Melissa Behr were already actresses when they got together to write, direct, and star in this film and I look forward to seeing them get back behind the camera again; they are definitely film-makers to watch out for! I hope this movie gets released on video and DVD so that others can discover this simple yet powerful story. ***stars
