Two chicks with more problems than most escape drug rehab and embark on a pointless journey to find the "Easy Rider" motorcycle. The entire movie consists of small talk, riding cycles, smoking, drinking, drug use, skinny dipping, and meeting a number of boring characters along the road. This was worse than watching someone's home movies. I cannot remember anything interesting or entertaining about "Me and Will". The two female leads are extremely forgettable, have no sense of humor, and seem to be depressed all the time. This movie is a real downer, so unless that is your definition of entertainment, I would skip this one for sure. - MERK

I saw this film after a friend recommended it to me and I wasn't disappointed. While I'm sure the idea of two leather-clad blondes 'discovering' themselves along the highways of America might sound either like a euphemism for some soft-porn atrocity or a tedious chick-flick this is actually a very touching story about two lost souls who meet in rehab and through a shared love of motorbikes decide to escape and do something that means something to them, in this instance to search for the bike from 'Easy Rider'. This film isn't faultless,the main problem I had was the way that certain aspects of the story seemed to leap forward without explaining how they got there - essentially it felt as if it had been cut up by a very unsympathetic editor (or a distributor who was complaining about it being 'too long and too weird')also I'm not entirely sure how having a minor bike accident lands you in rehab or how the boyfriend always seems to know where they are even after they themselves appear to be completely lost and have no idea where they are themselves! But these really are only a few minor quibbles and shouldn't dissuade you from having a look.

It's amazing the way Hollywood squanders talent. Sherrie Rose and Melissa Behr have spent most of their careers doing exploitation and cheap TV shows. On their own they put out a movie like this. This is a very touching movie, a road picture with obvious debts to "Easy Rider" but also a lot to say about individual freedom and the choices made in life. This kind of movie was very prevalent in the 70's but is a lost art these days. And who paid attention to it? If not for an article in Femmes Fatales Magazine, I never would have heard of it. It's sad the treasure that goes unnoticed out there.

This has to be one of the best independent films I have ever seen. Sherry Rose and Melissa Bher are truly two very talented writers. The simple combination of two women escaping from a mental institution, their developing friendship, and what emotion means to even a couple of druggie biker-chicks makes for a perfect drama. Jane's emotional chains to her father reflect how even childhood problems can haunt you forever, as does Will's relationship with her obsessive compulsive mother. Also, the cracking of an emotional shell of two hardend bikers may appeal to some drama hounds. The acting was four stars, even from a very tatooed Patrick Dempsey, as the boyfriend of Jane. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone looking for something to satisfy an uncontrollable urge to see a fantastic film.
