Manny & Lo (DVD)
Manny & Lo (1996) starring Scarlett Johansson, Aleksa Palladino, Mary Kay Place. Manny (Johansson) and Lo (Palladino) are two young sisters on the run from foster care, living on whatever they can steal from convenience stores along the way. When they find out that sixteen-year-old Lo is seven months pregnant, they take desperate measures -- kidnapping a woman (Place) from a local maternity store, and holing up in a stranger's vacation cabin. From there, the plot just gets weirder and funnier. The movie's only serious flaw is that this DVD does not include subtitles for the hearing-impaired, so some bits of dialogue got past me. Grade: B+
