Thom is broke and jobless and he lives in New York City. He is illegally working as a taxi driver just to make some quick cash to pay his rent. Claire also lives in New York City and she is a successful business woman. Her personal live is in shambles and she believes her husband is having an affair. Also, she gets a call from her mother and her father is in the hospital. Claire doesn’t know what to do?? She hails a cab and orders him to drive. They end up in Pennsylvania and they decide to drive to California where her mother and father live. They have some bumps along their road trip with detours, obstacles and their own secrets force them to get to know themselves and each other.
When Thom is turned down by a photography agency, he goes to his apartment and finds his landlord throwing all of his belongings out into the hallway. His only choice is to drive his illegal taxicab around the streets of New York. Claire’s life is also in ruins and she decides on a whim to go to California. I didn’t know that Amber and Sam were married when I watched this film? There is a lot of interesting scenery and they get into several jams during their trip. It is funny when Thom stops at his parents house, he doesn’t knock or ring the bell but he secretly breaks into the house? Claire doesn’t know that Thom’s parents live here or what he is doing!! 3 1/2* (I liked this movie)

Special Note: Filmed in Santa, Clarita, California. Surplus commercial vehicles such as taxi cabs and police cars are stripped of their specialized equipment (light bars, meters, signage and other details) prior to auction. Thom's cab still has some of this equipment? The destination is Encinitas, CA but once they arrive it is not Encinitas. Thom and Claire spend one of their nights in the cab in a parking lot. It is located in Westerville Ohio and Raisin Rack is a natural health food store at this location.
