Committed ** (2000, Heather Graham, Casey Affleck, Luke Wilson, Goran Visnjic) – Classic Movie Review 5048
Writer-director Lisa Krueger’s weird 2000 road movie comedy drama is a bumpy ride, with a shaky star turn by always likeable Heather Graham. But she has an incredibly good cast to bail her out slightly.
Heather Graham stars as daffy Joline, who sets out cross-country to track down her husband who has abandoned her, little anticipating how many odd characters she will meet along the way.
It also stars Casey Affleck, Luke Wilson, Goran Visnjic, Patricia Velasquez, Alfonso Arau, Mark Ruffalo, Kim Dickens, Clea DuVall, Summer Phoenix, Mary Kay Place and Dylan Baker.
It is R rated or 15 in the UK for strong language.
