Movie Review
All David had to do was go to a friend’s wedding.
It wasn’t a big task. It required no boldness. Just drive 250 miles, dance a little, maybe grab a drink, then drive back the next day.
Well, David’s car got booted before the journey even began. Fortunately, a nearby sign points him to just the thing he needs: The Car Rental Agency.
After a bit of a strange encounter with the Agency’s cashier and mechanic—in which they insist he add on the GPS feature—David is on his way. Despite heavy rain, the wedding goes off without a hitch. Guests are dancing and drinking, and then David is introduced to Sarah by the bride and groom.
You live in the same city, they’re both told. You should talk.
The pair flirts. David offers to get Sarah a drink (which she declines). Sarah invites David to dance (which he declines). And then Sarah makes it clear that nothing should happen anyway, since they’ll inevitably hurt each other if they start a relationship.
Well, that meet-cute certainly did not go off the way the newlyweds had perhaps hoped.
But that doesn’t necessarily mean hope is lost.
As David is driving home the next morning, the GPS in his car—the one he was bullied into getting—starts talking to him. Not just giving him directions to his next destination, but asking him questions:
Do you want to go on a big, bold, beautiful journey?
Little does David know that Sarah is being asked the exact same question in her own Car Rental Agency vehicle. The two run into each other again at a fast-food restaurant—one they were ordered to enter by their GPS systems. When they get ready to head out, Sarah’s car stalls, and David is instructed to give her a lift.
“Should we be trusting the GPS?” Sarah asks.
“I have nothing to lose,” David admits.
“Me neither,” shrugs Sarah.
It seems they’re off on a big, bold, beautiful journey together.
