I think this movie was intended to be a romantic-comedy. It’s a story about driving a school teacher across the country for a job interview, and being chased by an ex-boyfriend and some criminals.
The whole movie has a strange feel to it, aside from appearing very low budget. In fact the first 30 minutes seems like it is entirely adlibbed, and just loosely based on a scene concept. I felt uncomfortable watching as the actors struggle to create a dialog much of the time. Surprising enough, the movie actually improves in the second half, if you can manage to sit through the first 45 minutes, which is not easy. They manager to create a few (and I mean few) humorous scenes in the second half that help redeem this awkward film.
The framing of the camera work has a distinctly amateurish feel, and despite the number of noticeable TV actors in the cast, you can easily imagine this movie was made in a very short period of time, and with few takes per scene (if more than one at all.)
