A 1995 Dramedy written by Don Roos, starring Whoopi Goldberg, Drew Barrymore, and Mary-Louise Parker. It was director Herbert Ross's last film before his death.The film starts out with Jane (Goldberg), a lounge singer, answering an advertisement to drive from New York to California with Robin (Parker), a real-estate agent. They stop in Pittsburgh, and interrupt a fight between Holly (Barrymore) and her abusive boyfriend. Holly joins them on the trip (after some shenanigans involving her boyfriend's accidental death), and reveals she's eight weeks pregnant.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Then things get weird.

Incompatible Orientation: Jane spends most of the movie crushing on Robin, who is straight. She also spent some time before the film crushing on Holly. According to Holly, this is a recurring problem for Jane.

Chocolate Baby: Apparently, Holly wasn't exactly faithful to Nick. Set up by this exchange early on (which also doubles as a Funny Moment):
