The film has achieved cult status in the States, where it is referenced a number of times in TV shows, mainly using the main character in the film, Nino, played by Wesley Snipes. I personally didn't like the film a whole lot when I first watched, but ...

Hit The Highway
Advantages: good acting
Disadvantages: -
...wind down for a night, Thelma attracts the attention of a local man being the more outgoing, fun loving one where as Louise is more sensible and wise to sleazy men with their chat up lines. It isn't till they separate for a second that Louise loses Thelma and then finds this man whom she was with trying to rape her drunken friend in the parking lot. Louise gets angry and shoots him but now with blood on their hands they have no option but to hit ...
...charisma. I think Thelma and Louise did live up to my expectations with having more depth to the plot than originally though.

It is also a story about friendship and how out of everyone your friends will always be there for you and to not let life hold you down too much. Definitely a good film to sit and watch with all of your friends or ...
