Seth (Henry Thomas) is an awkward loner taking care of his abusive father in upstate New York. He meets Marcy (Robin Tunney) in a hardware store. She's a shoplifter, from a rich trash transport family and suffers from Tourette syndrome. There is no black Barbie styling head and they decide to go to Toronto to get one. She has trouble getting medication. She self-medicates with alcohol and sex. They rob pharmacist Claude (Stephen Lang) and Seth gets shot. They crash the car and Walter (Michael Parks) tows them back to his place.
Henry Thomas and Robin Tunney make for an appealing oddball couple. I'm not sure if Robin is overplaying Tourettes. Some of what she does is more than simply losing control. Although I guess she could be fixated on something and then act on it. This is a road trip movie. I would like more intensity in some of the scenes. There are lots of opportunity but the movie falls a little short.
