Review of Riding in Cars with Boys (2001) by Enrica C — 28 Jan 2011
"Beverly could've had it all. Instead, she had a son." Pretty lame movie with very lame characters. How could a girl who claims to be smart and intelligent end up being pregnant when she's 15 years old? "Riding in Cars With Boys" is about the true story of Beverly Donofrio, a real person who's now a writer/jouralist... This movie is full of controversy, it's inchoerent, it just feels wrong. There's something deeply wrong in all these characters who embraced some really stupid actions.
Drew Barrymore did a decent job, still I could not completely believe in what was happening. I'm still not sure she was the best choice to play Beverly. She was not that convincing.
"Riding in Cars With Boys" is a disturbing story. It might be interesting to watch it once or twice, but that's it. It won't teach you anything interesting. It's won't stick with you. Won't leave you thinking about a great morale, or ending.
