CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Ben Thompson on WBGR-FM (Monroe, Wisconsin) on February 22th, 2024, reviewing “Drive-Away Dolls,” a new film from absurdist master Ethan Coen. In theaters beginning February 23rd.

It’s 1999 and Margaret Qualley is Jamie, a rebellious lesbian who has just broken up with her live-in girlfriend Sukie (Beanie Feldstein). She commiserates with another girlfriend Marian (Geraldine Viswanathan), who is about to take a trip to Tallahassee to see her aunt. They decide to apply for a “drive away” car from Curley (Bill Camp), and he hands the keys over for a car he just received, after he was given instructions to set up the “Tallahassee drivers.” Turns out the car wasn’t intended for the gals, but for two goons (Joey Slotnick and C.J. Wilson) and contained a special package inside that the goons were to deliver to Florida Senator Gary Channel (Matt Damon).
