Drive-Away Dolls is a fun road movie with a randomness that would make Burn After Reading proud. It's weird and light on its feet with a sweet romance at its centre. Similarly to the Jesus Rolls, but with a much stronger grasp on the comedic timing of everything, it's just too short to be boring.
Even though Margaret Qualley completely understands the tone of the film, her Sandy Squirrel level accent is almost too much. It really helps that Geraldine Viswanathan is very endearing and her performance is the complete opposite so it can balance out the exaggerated nature of Margaret Qualley's accent.
There's a lot of recognizable faces with small parts in the supporting cast. Matt Damon could've done more however, Colman Domingo and Bill Camp are major highlights. Bill Camp in particular, does quite a bit with what he's given to the extent an end credits scene giving him some resolution would've been great.
Ethan Coen's direction is a bit too heavy on the forced quirkiness. Overall, a lot of it works, it's just the transitions themselves that are hit and miss throughout. Some of them are really good, maintaining the rhythm and bringing a lot of energy from the beginning and there's an equal amount that feel cheap and unnecessary.
