Gaby (one "B") Hoffmann is the daughter of former Andy Warhol "Superstar" Viva (rn Janet Hoffmann) and soap star Anthony Herrera.<br /><br />I wouldn't call it my favorite (I'd have to think about that) but the (fairly) recent road movie that I liked a lot was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Lucky_Ones_(film)" rel="nofollow">The Lucky Ones</a>. Tim Robbins, Rachel McAdams and Michael Pena star. The latter two are soldiers on 30 day leave and Robbins just left the service and is on his way home when he discovers his wife wants a divorce. They can't get a flight out of JFK so team up on a road trip and bonding journey. For those (like me) who think McAdams has been cruelly misused in a lot of crappy roles, you need to see this one. (And Robbins has none of the smugness that can make him unbearable at times.) It's a small, quiet but very good movie.<br /><br />Jeff M.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33110302.post-43188747451514352522014-03-25T07:44:05.378-04:002014-03-25T07:44:05.378-04:00Not a favourite movie about a road trip, but I enj...Not a favourite movie about a road trip, but I enjoyed ROAD HOGS. John Travolta, Tim Allen, William H. Macy and, to some extent, Martin Lawrence, were a riot. Good comedy where Macy stands out.Prashant C.
