I thought I might like Vanilla, but I LOVED it! It was funny, surprising, and honest, with great performances and an excellent script. Highly recommended!

Loved it!
Okay but unlikeable characters
This is about a man who sells a van to a woman but then the man's ex-girlfriend wants to buy the van for a lot for a film production. The man and woman then drive the van from New York to New Orleans and that is basically it. It is trying to be an alternative road romantic comedy but it isn't that different to a traditional one. It also is one of those films where nothing really happens, which is fine as its about the characters. The problem is that the characters aren't really that likeable. They aren't awful they are just ordinary and plain with no overly likeable properties. In fact the best character is the ex uncle/boss of the woman. The film starts out really well and then there is a bit of a shock about the woman and then the film slows till it stalls and splutters out. I wouldn't pay to watch this film but if you can watch it free on demand then it may be worth a go.
Well rounded comedy's
It's a very good down to earth well rounded comedy which avoids a lot of the tropes of a round trip comedy. Adding a lot of charm. Does well avoiding a lot of the cliches and by going it's own beat. Loved the ending
