THEY RE SISTERS. BUT IT WILL TAKE A MIRACLE TO MAKE THEM A FAMILY.

Adapted from the novel Don t Look and It Won t Hurt by Richard Peck, Allison Anders (Grace of My Heart) whipped up a storm at the 42nd Berlin International Film Festival with her masterfully crafted tale of a young woman trying to find love while struggling to bring up her two daughters.

Abandoned by her husband, Nora (Brooke Adams, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, The Stuff) waitresses to keep her head above water while raising two teenagers in a small New Mexico town trailer park. Beautiful and rebellious, Trudi (Ione Skye, Wayne s World, Zodiac) quits school to work alongside her mother, while her sister Shade (Fairuza Balk, The Craft, American History X) whittles away her time watching old movie matinees. Their life is turned on its head when Trudi finds that she has fallen pregnant after a string of promiscuous relationships and the girls' absent father returns with hopes of mending the relationships he broke when he left.

A wonderfully engaging story of the woes of teenagers reaching adulthood, Gas Food Lodging is a distinctly American portrayal of a mother trying to raise two wayward teens with growing pains, who are learning about love, life and each other. This director-approved restoration finally affords this 90s modern classic the home video treatment it rightly deserves.

This has always been a fave of mine since I saw it on tv over 10 years ago so was thrilled to finally own a copy on dvd!
Adapted from a book Its a coming of age tale about 2 teenage sisters growing up in a small boring town who live with their single parent mother Nora(Brooke adams)in a trailer.Shade(Fairuza balk) spends her time wasting the days away watching dramatic old Mexican movies at the local cinema & dreaming of love & romance.Trudi(Ione skye)is the rebellious sister with a reputation around town as being promiscuous,much to the chagrin of her mother who she is constantly at loggerheads with.Whilst Nora works at the local diner & longs for her own dreams of romance as she struggles to hold the family together.
I absolutely love this movie,its one of the best indie dramas ive seen.Fairuza balk is the main star of the show,she plays Shade perfectly & i liked her character the best but Ione skye & Brooke adams are also perfection as is everything else with this movie!
The only downside perhaps is the ending as we don't really get to see what becomes of the characters,maybe the book which it was adapted from('Don't look & it wont hurt' by Richard peck)continues their story further but I am yet to read it.
About the actual dvd,for anyone who doesn't have a multi region player the 2012 release is an official DVD-R & is region free so now this film can be appreciated by everyone :)
