hyped garbage

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Well, there's an all star cast. That's a plus. Its 93 minutes- another plus. I had to watch viewing in thirds; it was so boring. As a rule I like movies that are supposed to make you think. All I could think was "Quit sticking your hands into his ashes!!" And what the heck has Jessica Lange done to her eyes?!!!? Scary! Every line was predictable; Arvillas hand was in that container like it was a cookie jar; I half expected her to have cookies in there, with her husbands ashes. Tom Skerrit had a lame role. This is NO Steel Magnolias folks! Now granted I've not seen the ending yet- I've just seen the second 30 minute installment, because I have to take a nap its so boring. Its a good thing I bought it at a dollar store for four bucks- I'd like to have three bucks back. Of course you can buy it just to figure out what Jessica has done to her eyes, each time she runs her hands through her husbands remains- gag....even Kathy Bates lines are mediocre... After my nap, I'll try to finish the last 30 minutes...yawn...

Road movies with female leads are rarer than I thought. The only ones that come to mind are "Thelma & Louise" (which I never saw) and the 1965 sexploitation flick "Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!" (which, despite being a hetero male, I could only take 20 minutes of). "Bonneville" is the only one I've seen all the way through, and it was an enjoyable experience.The film is very tame by today's standards, and depending on what you're in the mood for, that could be a good thing or a bad thing. It caught me on a day when I was craving a break from the shocking, disturbing, edgy films of late. And if you're in the same mindset, I think you'll like it, too. It reminded me of the kind of film that might have been made in the late 40s, all about good values & morality. The 3 characters are portrayed as being Mormon which accounts for their "old fashioned" customs like not drinking coffee, no swearing, lying or philandering (if that word can be applied to women). But within those confines, we get the story of a bunch of chicks gone wild.If you like this type of movie, I highly recommend "Ladies in Lavender" (2004) with Judi Dench. Another good one, though touching on a heavy subject (Alzheimer's), is "Away From Her" (2006) with Julie Christie. And for a morbidly good time, check out the classic "Arsenic & Old Lace" (1944). I seem to have a thing for wild & crazy grandmothers.

I thought the movie was great.The characters were believable and enjoyable.The plot was a simple one it's a road movie.Due to a death our hero's must travel to another town using a shiny red Bonneville.It is kind like watching Golden Girls on vacation. Usually with this type of movie they drag the audience off to some sub plot where I tend to fall asleep.Bonneville kept moving and never dragged.It covers a hard subject with a gentle touch.The movie shows the audience that no matter how old you are you can go on a trip and have laughs,tears,and lots of fun with good friends.You can even learn something new about a friend you have known for twenty years.I would recommend this movie to everyone.Bonneville gave me the same feelings as Fried Green Tomatoes.It was a woman empowering movie.As women get older they decide maybe for the first time in their life. They decide what they want to do, not what someone else wants them to do.This movie was not a ground shaking film where thousands of repressed women were released from shackle's but just a small step in the right direction for women in general.
