Really enjoyed this one. My husband called it a "Chick Flick", but if it is, it's not made in a traditional Hollywood mold. Just because a movie lacks violence does not make it a "Chick Flick". I think of it more as a funny road trip movie....

Take a little trip around the world for a couple of hours - it can be big fun! Not what you might expect - Enjoy it!

A truly original take on the classic road trip story. Besides the great plot twists and delightful humor, the acting is superb. Light-hearted and deep at the same time. A great chance to travel from Hamburg to Istanbul through eastern Europe.
