Selma Blair Movie:

Editorial Review:
With equal parts humor and vitriol, Academy Award®-winner Richard Dreyfuss and Emmy Award®-winner Judy Davis portray Barnaby and Maxine Pierce, a middle-aged couple exploring the ups and downs of a marriage that has spun out of control. They embark on a cross country road trip from Connecticut to Los Angeles to attend the wedding of their son and give him their vintage Thunderbird as a wedding gift. By reflecting on the life they’ve shared together, the couple begins to re-evaluate their marriage and discover the possibility of rekindling their relationship.

Coast to Coast Reviews:
Sophisticated Americans confronting their past
2005-10-11 - Coast to Coast directed by Paul Mazursky is the kind of movie you would really like to feel good about. The back drop of a TV comedy writer and his wife who put their house up for sale and take a trip across America in a 1960's era red T-Bird is the stuff dreams are made of, but in this case it is a rolling nightmare, you see Barnaby, played by Richard Dreyfus and Maxine, played by Judy Davis are on the brink of divorce. Apparently Barnaby thinks that if they take this trip they can patch up their long gone love for each other. And he is right, as it seems Maxine is talking a good game, but really doesn't want to go it alone. You really want to like this film, made for the Showtime cable network, but the characters that Dreyfus and Davis have to interact with are just not likeable. I see the point of the screenplay written by director Mazursky, but it is just too obvious that Barnaby and Maxine are better people than the ghosts that haunt them. Add to this the screen writers love affair with the notorious "F" bomb and Coast to Coast just comes off as another Hollywood film that their creators love, but really has no appeal to the American public. This is a shame because a good re-write of the script might have improved this otherwise unremarkable film. This is just average Hollywood fare, seen through the eyes of Hollywood people who really have lost touch with day to day reality. Take it or leave it.
