This is a great road movie starring Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon which did more for feminism subtly than what real feminsist haven't been able to achieve somehow. Directed by Ridley Scott- once again proving his mettle in any genre- Thelma And Louise is a journey by two best friends and starring cameos the most famous of them being Brad Pitt. A film which is a riot as well as lots of fun.

This is one of the rare times that I went to see this movie more than once. When I first saw it "I had no idea what to expect" and neither did the audience. Everybody thought we were "Seeing a Comedy". So the events in this film shook me (and the rest of the audience) to my core. What I saw was a film that did not follow the predictableness of a Hollywood film. What I got was an eye opener. I loved the film regardless of the events that happen in the film.I do not want to give this entire film plot away but to me "Everyone Should See This Film". It is a statement on relationships and how things happen when you "Never Saw It Coming" WOW!!

One of the ultimate, "good girls gone bad by circumstance," films in cinematic history, Thelma & Louise, was a ground-breaking movie showcasing the story of two women who embarked on a crime spree, not out of want, but of the pure necessity for survival. In 1991, it was relatively rare to see females in a position of pure power and wielding weapons (that includes both sex AND guns). Finally, a big box office film showed that when pushed headlong into moral, ethical and life or death situations, women can be just as ruthless, strong and resourceful as men. These chicks didn't need to be rescued, coddled or defended. It is a, "stand your ground" movie that really hit viewers, especially females, in the gut. Today, we have a surplus of woman-empowered films, but 25 years ago they were far more rare. Sure, I finally saw this flick at the dollar theater years after it's initial release, but it was no less spectacular. At certain moments, even I, as a somewhat cynical and strong chick myself, got goosebumps in reaction to some scenes, like the one near the end of the film where the two feisty felines finally emasculate the disgusting, slovenly and perverted truck driver that plagued the two for most of the movie and then proceed to blow his rig to the moon (although gas tanks don't explode just because a well- placed bullet hits them; it's actually the fumes from the gas that ignite, not the liquid itself). Just awesome. And to add insult to injury, Thelma steals the trucker's filthy hat as he screams in defeat, "you bit**es from hell!". Hilarious and well deserved payback. Thelma & Louise is a brilliantly acted, wonderfully written and fabulously directed movie that is officially in my personal, "Top ten chick flicks of all time" list. Except...the soundtrack tries to suck the life out of almost every scene with a soundtrack. Good grief, those tunes really stink. It's not that I hate country music, it's that the creators of this film somehow managed to find the absolute worst songs in music history. Horrid. Sometimes I hit the mute button to spare my sensitive ears; I prefer trash metal/hard rock. Regardless, I think every female over the age of 17 should see this movie at least once in their lives. Hopefully, one day they will show it to their granddaughters.

Nice pictures, stupid story. How unbelievably stupid the male characters are. And the stupid decisions the two women take, are just boring. All to begin with, the a act of violence which is the foundation of the entire movie. Read the other negative references.Just don't watch it (unless you are a miserable 50 year old female who never had any happy moments in life, particularly not with the other sex).why did she shoot that guy in the first place - why don't they split the money - why are all guys idiotswhy woman of the women who is portrait as mostly nervous in hectic situations suddenly able to pull of an amazing criminal action
