I was afraid this would glamorize their carefree and consequence-free lifestyle so this was a pleasant surprise as it got going. The plot with the mother was hot/cold...definitely as predictable a twist as any. Assuming the writers intended for us to pity/dislike Lewis/Thurman this is actually a better film than you'd think. I'm just tired of other movies glamorizing poor decisions in life with no acceptance of personal responsibility and then a deus ex machine to rescue the main characters..

This was a train wreck, but I was strangely compelled to keep watching. The Jersey accents were appalling.
