Plot
Jane (Whoopi Goldberg), a musician who has undergone a break-up with both her girlfriend and her band, decides to move from New York City to Los Angeles for a new gig. She answers a newspaper ad for a traveling companion from Robin (Mary-Louise Parker), a real estate agent who's also looking to move to California. Thinking Robin's a square, Jane initially declines to join her, but agrees after her car gets towed. Jane and Robin leave and make a stop in Pittsburgh to see Jane's friend, Holly (Drew Barrymore).
