We'll look at what “road-trip” movies are really all about. A road-trip plot usually follows a character or characters on a journey from one point toward a desired destination. The real purpose of the film, however, turns out to be how the journey affects or changes the characters or characters. We will view and discuss (order may vary): North by Northwest; Planes, Trains, and Automobiles; Get on the Bus; Little Miss Sunshine; The Bucket List; The Sure Thing; The Hundred Foot Journey; and The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
