Ride or Die is about two women, Paula and Sloane, who go on a spontaneous road trip from Missouri to California. The two reconnect after randomly seeing each other at a thrift store. They went to high school together, but hadn't seen each other in years.
Sloane quickly clings to Paula. It starts as she first asks for a ride, then winds up at Paula's home, and then convinces Paula, who had mentioned recently graduating from film school and wanting to move to California, to go there on a whim. Sloane also gets the idea that she could star in Paula's films. Paula, who's a planner, doesn't like the idea, but Sloane convinces her. They barely know each other. What can go wrong?
Everything that can go wrong, and more does. Things spiral pretty quickly. Paula wants to go back, but Sloane, who is definitely a wild child, keeps convincing her to continue on and says they can't go back.
I haven't seen Thelma and Louise in many many years, but this movie reminded me of it. While I didn't love this movie, I did enjoy it. It's fun and chaotic.
Recommended, but not a must see.
