Dog Road Movie

Detour, L'Avventura, North By Northwest, the list of great road movies is neither especially long nor particularly winding. Most film buffs, I suspect, would limit the list of great road movies to the three I mentioned, since all the others are so tiresomely predictable that most viewers end up wishing that the characters had never left home in the first place.
Of these worthless cinematic bores, with the possible exception of anything starring Bing Crosby and Bob Hope, Lola In Low Gear (directed Baldwin, 2011) is probably the most boring of all.
Below are stills, courtesy of Cahiers du Cinema, from an exceptionally dull scene in which an excited Lola thinks she's reversing out of the driveway, en route for a fund day at the dog park. Unfortunately, much to Lola's disappointment, her feet are too short to reach the pedals; consequently she and car remain stationary and, staring mournfully out of the window, Lola realizes she won't make it to her destination.

It's no 101 Dalmatians fun for the whole family, obviously, but then it's no depressingly sentimental Old Yeller, either. Personally, I like to think of the film as a cross between Alain Resnais' yawningly enigmatic L'Année dernière à Marienbad and that mythical snore-fest Lassie Does Absolutely Nothing At All.
For those interested, if God forbid anyone is, here is the Lola In Low Gear trailer, featuring all the best bits of the film like all movie trailers always do.
