Riding in Cars with Boys (2001): Fall

September 12, 2018

This film follows a teen mother in the 1960's who is constantly working towards her own dreams and doing to bare minimum in regards to parenting. She reluctantly agrees to marry her son's father and exists in an unhappy marriage. This movie takes place over several years, so various seasons and holidays occur throughout the film.However, there are some very cozy feeling scenes with jackets and dreary fall weather that I think makes it a nice film to get you in the autumnal spirit. I definitely think there are more overtly fall films and other ones that should be watched before putting this one on, but if you've exhausted all your typical fall films, this is a great one to throw towards the end of your list.
