Plot Synopsis: Comedy about three teens in the fabulous '50s who set off on a highway adventure. Paul Rudd ("Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy"), Julie Bowen (TV's "Ed,"), and Dee Wallace-Stone ("E.T.") star in this fun comedy, based on a 1956 drive-in classic. Stuck in 1950's suburbia, Angie, Mary and Laura are best friends and tired of the same old things. Everything changes when Mary's deadbeat boyfriend skips town, prompting the girls to break all the rules by faking their own kidnapping, stealing a car and chasing him down the highway. But their dangerous travels put them in peril, and they realize that their sheltered lives may not have been so bad after all.
