It required no boldness. Just drive 250 miles, dance a little, maybe grab a drink, then drive back the next day.<\/p>\n<p>Well, David\u2019s car got booted before the journey even began. Fortunately, a nearby sign points him to just the thing he needs: The Car Rental Agency.<\/p>\n<p>After a bit of a strange encounter with the Agency\u2019s cashier and mechanic\u2014in which they insist he add on the GPS feature\u2014David 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.<\/p>\n<p>You live in the same city, they\u2019re both told. You should talk.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019ll inevitably hurt each other if they start a relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that meet-cute certainly did not go off the way the newlyweds had perhaps hoped.<\/p>\n<p>But that doesn\u2019t necessarily mean hope is lost.<\/p>\n<p>As David is driving home the next morning, the GPS in his car\u2014the one he was bullied into getting\u2014starts talking to him. Not just giving him directions to his next destination, but asking him questions:<\/p>\n<p>Do you want to go on a big, bold, beautiful journey?<\/p>\n<p>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\u2014one they were ordered to enter by their GPS systems. When they get ready to head out, Sarah\u2019s car stalls, and David is instructed to give her a lift.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShould we be trusting the GPS?\u201d Sarah asks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have nothing to lose,\u201d David admits.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMe neither,\u201d shrugs Sarah. <\/p>\n<p>It seems they\u2019re off on a big, bold, beautiful journey together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Movie Review All David had to do was go to a friend\u2019s wedding.
