My Favorite Road Film

I think my favorite road film would have to be the film Y Tu Mama Tambien, a Mexican film telling the coming of age story of two young men. I thought this film was really interesting and the actors Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna did a wonderful job portraying two young men curious about life and leaving their families for the first time. I thought that is was a fairly universal story about friendship and the growing and changing that occurs between friends when their high school days are over. I haven't seen many female road movies, which makes me wonder how the story would have been different or the same had it been two young Mexican women, or two women in general, leaving home for the first time and experiencing the world. I thought this movie was entertaining but also very thoughtful and would recommend it highly.
