Wow! What a funny film. What I liked about the film was how these two different characters try to get along - both from different backgrounds - be it culturally, economically or living status.
The film gets you thinking - can these two people eventually learn to get along, and above all, make it home for Thanksgiving?
At first, you think the spoiled rich kid needs a good boot in the bum, but all he needed was someone to talk to and have a shoulder to lean on - his dad had left his mum - a broken family. Towards the end of the film, the divorced dad lets a bomb drop - he wants his ex-wife out of her house (he paid for).
I'm from Australia - and this film was titled "Driving Me Crazy". I learned recently that the U.S. called this film "Dutch", named after Ed O'Neill's character Dutch Dooley.
No matter where you go in this world, and whoever you may meet, a friendship can develop - don't forget that.
