This movie was strange, but it kept my attention. It was funny, with a touch of melancholy. There is a scene that is something Twilight Zone esque, in which the viewer sees an old man at what is supposed to be a no-longer functioning bus stop, yet a bus does arrive, which happens to be empty, and he boards it.
Some think it represents death (how appropriate for this forum since "catching the bus" is among the lexicon) others it represents getting out of a very boring jerk-water town. The end of the movie one of the two protagonists took that same bus to leave town. One also has to wonder if she left town or was it symbolic of self deliverance?
