Riding in Cars with Boys is definitely a step into a new direction for actress Drew Barrymore. Drew, in her most difficult role to date, tries and succeeds through the majority of the movie. There are times when she goes a little out of bounds, and becomes outrageous -- but for the most part, she nails the part.The film tells its story nicely, and has a strange and some-what heartbreaking ending. Steve Zahn is easily the high-point of this film. Zahn's character will be the one you think about the most when this film ends.Riding in Cars with Boys works on enough levels to make it worth seeing.

This movie is about Beverly Donofrio (Drew Barrymore) who's life is messed up when she gets pregnant from Ray Hasek (Steve Zahn). Now, Bev's life is turned upside down. She tries to get through the hard time while her best friend Fay (Brittany Murphy) sticks by her side. Her mother (Lorraine Bracco) and Father (James Woods) are very disappointed in her, and now she has decided to marry Ray. Sit back and listen to Beverly tell the story of her troubled life, where she finally found peace. This was a great movie. It was really sad too. This was a good girl's movie, but also would be enjoyable to guys like me. I give Riding In Cars With Boys an 8 out of 10! :)

I thought this movie was excellent. Definitely deserving of 10 stars out of 10. Also of two thumbs way up and kudos to all those involved. I have the book that tells this story and the sequel "Looking For Mary". This is definitely one of my favorite movies. I have the d.v.d. that is the special edition. I have seen the interviews with the real Beverly Donofrio. She is such an amazing woman. Jason is so lucky to have her as a mother. Although, I know from reading the two books and little things in the movie that at times he could really disrespect and hurt her feelings. Although, now that he's married the two of them and his wife could not be happier. Beverly, and her new faithful and good husband are now more happier then ever. Great Movie!
