This hilarious foul-mouthed, lesbian road movie co-stars Oscar-winning actresses Olympia Dukakis and Brenda Fricker as Dot and Stella, a crackerjack lesbian couple on the run from a nursing home heading to Canada to be legally married. Handsome Ryan Doucette co-stars as a young male hitchhiker along for the ride who will learn more than he ever imagined from this inspiring couple.

It’s like a lesbian “Thelma & Louise” with liver spots.

Destined to be a classic, this latest feature film from openly gay director Thom Fitzgerald (“3 Needles,” “Beefcake”) has earned rave reviews from lesbian and gay audiences everywhere.

“A rousing, frequently rowdy comedy with considerable crossover appeal … Dukakis outdoes even her most memorable earlier turns.” — Variety
