Żegnajcie, laleczki Ratings & Reviews
- jackmeat27 listopada 2025My quick rating - 5.4/10. Drive-Away Dolls is one of those movies that sneaks up on you, not because it’s profound, but because it has that strange, Coen-adjacent charm. The characters are just odd enough, the timing is just off enough, and the plot is just chaotic enough to keep you watching even when the movie keeps tripping over its own shoelaces. I ended up watching this because Matt Damon mentioned it during his Colbert interview, and honestly, that was enough of a push. The guy could sell me on a documentary about oatmeal if he tried hard enough. The good news? Damon’s cameo here is actually one of the film’s more amusing surprises, and the movie itself has enough personality to justify the detour. The heart of the film lies with Jamie (Margaret Qualley) and Marian (Geraldine Viswanathan), two women who couldn’t be more different if you cast them from separate cinematic universes. Jamie is a chaotic bisexual hurricane, breezing from breakup to breakdown with “I swear I’m fine” energy. Marian is the kind of soft-spoken, tightly wound introvert who breaks into a mild sweat just watching Jamie exist. Their odd-couple chemistry is legitimately great. Qualley gives Jamie that reckless, flirty spark she does so well, and Viswanathan plays the reluctant partner-in-crime with perfect comedic exasperation. Whether they're fumbling through roadside disasters, outrunning cartoonishly incompetent crooks, or simply trying to borrow a car without accidentally getting wrapped up in a criminal conspiracy, their dynamic carries most of the humor. The comedic timing between them is sharp, and the movie shines brightest when it's simply letting these two bounce off each other. But where Drive-Away Dolls stumbles is in its handling of sexuality and intimacy. It’s not that the LGBTQ+ elements shouldn’t be there - they absolutely should - it’s that the film tries a little too hard to make sexuality part of the punchline instead of simply part of the characters’ lives. Instead of feeling organic, some of these moments come off like the script clearing its throat and going, “See? We’re being edgy and modern!” when it really didn’t need to. The movie already has personality. It already has charm. Nothing had to dial itself up to get my attention. Fortunately, the movie doesn’t derail itself entirely. It stays playful and breezy, delivering a series of amusing detours, mistaken identities, and silly criminal mishaps that feel right at home in a dusty road-trip comedy. The villains are entertainingly dumb, the pacing is brisk, and the film hits enough comedic beats to keep you smiling even when it tries too hard to be “something more.” In the end, it's a light, quirky romp with a talented cast doing fun character work. It may not fully stick the landing, and it definitely fumbles its attempt at thematic depth, but it still manages to be an enjoyable, low-stakes ride. If you’re in the mood for something colorful and a bit off-kilter, with just enough weirdness to give it flavor, Drive-Away Dolls is worth tossing on for the journey alone.
- Kevin Ward2 lipca 2025Couple things. First, I watched this immediately after watching Love Lies Bleeding. The inevitable be gay, do crime comparison doesn’t do this film any favors. Second, I’m a staunch advocate for seeing and supporting films in the theater (particularly comedies) because they work so much better as a communal experience. Laughs are infectious and a film like Drive-Away Dolls is kind of dependent on that experience. I watched this at home….alone….on my phone. With disclaimers out of the way, I can say I was pretty disappointed by Drive-Away Dolls. Though it’s helmed by 1/2 of the Coen Brothers, it felt more like a Farrelly Brother’s movie from the 90’s than a Co-Bro Production. In fact, this has the same plot as Dumb and Dumber, both D-A-D movies coincidentally. A briefcase taken by accident, a buddy road trip, juvenile humor, while incompetent criminals are chasing them down. That’s not inherently bad. I actually love Dumb and Dumber. For whatever reason, the humor just didn’t land for me in this case. As for the redeeming qualities, I thought Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan were excellent and wonderful on screen chemistry. Viswanathan has the more fully realized character, but Qualley get to have a little more fun with hers. And underneath the layers of raunch comedy, Viswanathan’s character does have a meaningful character arc with a sex positive message and a rather sweet happy ending. I liked the impressive cast of supporting characters in theory, but none of them really did anything that felt impactful. Pedro Pascal, Colman Domingo, Matt Damon? It really felt like I was just supposed to be impressed that just because they’re here. I mean, does Matt Damon even know that he’s allowed to say no to cameo’s? Honestly my favorite supporting players were probably Bill Camp and Joey Slotnick. In the end I had a decent time, just not the raucously good time it felt like I should be having. Qualley and Viswanathan stars are still rising, though, so that’s good enough for me.
- Splitvision8914 maja 2025This movie was a huge let down. The tone of the movie is all over the place and the psychedelic cut scene are jarring and make no sense. Plus the plot was dumb. Geraldine Viswanathan was good as always
- rg94001 listopada 2024It pains me to give this movie a negative review, but ultimately, Drive Away Dolls feels like a very disposable movie that isn't even aiming to be more than a bit of fluff. In doing so, it wastes some excellent talent and potential. The movie's storyline, at a high level, follows an odd pair buddy road trip style movie, and both Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan are solid in their roles. The problem is that the movie is trying to be very lowbrow, and a lot of the jokes end up feeling extremely juvenile to a degree where the movie hardly elicited any laughs at all in my full theater. It's as if they get the setup teed up perfectly, but completely fall flat when it comes to the punch lines. You get some of the zany and whimsical characters you'd expect from a Coen movie, and the two men chasing the main characters were a particular highlight. Colman Domingo and Beanie Feldstein are completely wasted. The movie utilizes some transitions that I found fairly clever, and also some transitions that annoyed me a ton. There are some cool ways the movie stitches together movement from one frame to the next. It also devolves into some extremely unnecessary psychedelic sequences at times which didn't make any sense to me as the movie isn't revolving around drugs in any way. These sequences can last for a decent chunk of time which adds up, and for a movie that is only 80 minutes long, that completely superfluous padding feels even more out of place. Maybe this movie was made for some people who just wanted to get high and waste 80 minutes, but then it should have been more upfront about that in its marketing and skipped the theatrical release. Regardless, I feel like had Ethan Coen actually tried to finish this movie properly, he could have made something far better than this half-baked juvenile attempt that wasted such good talent.
- Donald Winzer19 marca 2025I see why Joel didn't put his name on this one.
- Ray Hopkin6 stycznia 2025I laughed my arse off! I loved it. Qualley and Viswanathan have amazing chemistry, and the supporting cast are great. My favourite scene was Alice B. Toklas shagging the goon when he was down!
- vangh117 stycznia 2025Am I the only one who felt like Jamie was written as Ulysses Everett McGill's, like, great grand niece? And I consider Margaret Qualley a strong actress, but something about this performance (it's probably mostly the accent) just never feels like more than a person reciting written lines. I would have to say the same for Beanie Feldstein's Sukie, which, again, I've seen her do great work so I'm not sure why the stark and stylized attempt of the performances in this movie just don't work. The psychedelic cutaways feel obviously reminiscent of <i>The Big Lebowski</i> (or like knock-offs, if you want to be less generous) but while they work there because they feel full of meaningful -if obscure- imagery and can be tied to The Dude's "occasional acid flashbacks" in this they're just meaningless and misplaced (despite the effort to tie them back to the Senator's marijuana hazed backstory) The mistaken identity set up of the whole plots feels very Cohens-y in the best way, and everything ends up playing out in the way you would expect it to in a Cohens movie, but it lacks the whole "Those idiots really make you think" aspect that joint Cohens manage to pull off. The sex scenes are clearly meant to be over the top, but they're WAY, WAY too over the top to the point it feels like a parody of a caricature of a bad dub of an anime or something, like they asked an AI to generate sex scenes based on descriptions submitted by 3rd grades, 9th grades, and 85 year olds understanding on sex. Two things I really enjoyed in this movie: 1) The idea that every lesbian everywhere is moments away from being invited to a basement party 2) The execution of the relationship between the two goons. I feel like "Partners that are oil and water" is a WELL tread path, but it feels unique and genuinely funny here. The "intelligent and diplomatic" goon constantly orating (read: bloviating) about how dense and ineffectual his partner is while being completely oblivious that he's turning up the heat on a pot already beginning to boil resulting in classic climax hijinx was maybe the only payoff that really worked in the movie for me. I've yet to see <i>Tragedy of Macbeth</i> but with reading so much about how you can clearly see how each of the distinct Cohen brothers in their solo films come together to make past shared films, I really feel compelled to now.
