Mojave Moon

Mojave Moon (1996) — watch online on iFILM — is an American romantic comedy-thriller directed by Kevin Dowling, starring Danny Aiello, Angelina Jolie, and Anne Archer.

Al McCord, a middle-aged actor, offers a young woman named Ellie a lift across the California desert to visit her mother. He means to drop her off and head back. Instead he falls for the mother, Julie — with Ellie watching from the sidelines. Then there's Julie's boyfriend: Alfred Molina, playing someone who might flip at any moment, which gives the whole comedy an uneasy edge. Dowling keeps everything unhurried against the Mojave backdrop. This is Jolie before she became a movie star; she's flighty and genuinely funny here, a very different register from the commanding presence she'd later develop.
