Christina Reviews *Freeway*

           “You shoulda let me out of the car when I asked you to, Bob. You see what happens when ya got bad manners?”
                                                      Vanessa Lutz

          This is an interesting twist on the story of Little Red Riding Hood.  Reese Witherspoon plays Vanessa, a 15 year old girl who comes from a white trash background.  Vanessa Lutz may not be the brightest bulb in the world, but she has a real knack for survival. 

          When her mother is arrested for prostitution and her stepfather is arrested for molesting her, she decides to run away to her grandmother’s house in order to avoid social services.  Her car breaks down in the middle of the freeway, and a man named Bob Wolverton stops to help her out.  He offers her a ride.

          As it turns out, Bob Wolverton is not such a nice guy after all.

          I’m not going to say anymore because I don’t want to spoil the movie. 

         Reese Witherspoon has some great lines.  I find I like her best in quirky, eccentric roles like this one.
