Story Synopsis

Gas Food Lodging, based on Richard Peck’s novel “Don't Look And It Won’t Hurt,” is the warm and touching tale of Nora (Brooke Adams), a truckstop waitress and single mother, trying to make a life for herself and her two teenage daughters, Trudi (Ione Skye) and Shade (Fairuza Balk), as told by the younger and more sensitive girl, Shade. This is a women’s story of tensions and desires packed with emotional realism. Beautiful acting and directing with fully developed and believable characters and a poignant, moving story make this “sleeper” of a movie a total joy to watch.
