Drive Away Dolls — Find Out Where to Watch the New Adventure Comedy

For more than 30 years, the Coen Brothers have provided audiences across the world with laughs, thrills, and thought-provoking masterpieces like Fargo, No Country For Old Men, and The Big Lebowski. However, after decades of success, the two brothers have decided to try their luck on their own. While Joel Coen released the dark and inventive Shakespeare adaptation, The Tragedy of Macbeth in 2021, audiences have been desperately awaiting the return of Ethan Coen and that trademark Coen brothers’ black humor. Finally, Ethan Coen is returning to the screen to direct Drive Away Dolls, a caper film written alongside his wife and collaborator, Tricia Cooke.

The film follows Jamie, a free spirit who is currently dealing with yet another breakup from yet another girlfriend, and Marian, her much more inhibited and demure friend who could use a little more fun in her life. In an effort to get away from their drab lives, the two embark on a road trip to Tallahassee, but things take a turn for the worse when they rent the wrong car and come into contact with a group of deeply inept criminals. Featuring actors like Margaret Qualley, Geraldine Viswanathan, Beanie Feldstein, Colman Domingo, and Pedro Pascal and a script that Coen promises is far different from any of his others, this film is set to be one of the best of the year. For anybody who can’t wait to see this epic crime story, here’s everything we know about how, when, and where you can watch this new adventure comedy.

Will ‘Drive Away Dolls’ Be Streaming?

Drive Away Dolls, which had a theatrical release and special VOD windows before being bought by NBCUniversal, will ultimately be accessible for streaming on Peacock. Recently, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3 was made available on the service, two months after its theatrical release, so that leads us to believe that Drive Away Dolls will likely be available on the service sometime in April 2024.

Is ‘Drive Away Dolls’ Coming to DVD and Blu-ray?

Since Drive Away Dolls is being released theatrically rather than on a streaming platform, it is highly likely that it will also enjoy a DVD and Blu-ray release. For now, there is no information about when Focus Features will release the DVD, but those details will likely be shared a few weeks after its theatrical release. However, looking back on another Focus Features release, My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3, which was released on DVD and Blu-ray on October 31, 2023, 53 days after its theatrical release, Drive Away Dolls will probably receive a physical copy in April.

Is There a Trailer for ‘Drive Away Dolls’?

Yes, there is! The trailer for Drive Away Dolls was released on June 23, 2023.

Jamie and Marian are through with their dull lives. With Jamie believing love is no longer realistic for a 21st-century lesbian like her and Marian still being unable to ditch her repressed persona and find love, the two realize it’s time for a change. A spur-of-the-moment road trip to Tallahassee may seem like the answer to their prayers, but a rental car remix threatens their lives and puts them at the center of a criminal enterprise. Will they be able to outwit those on their tale and find themselves on this vacation, or will they become victims of the criminal underworld?

True Grit

Remakes are always intimidating, but when it comes to the 1969 Western True Grit which earned Hollywood legend, John Wayne, his first and only Oscar, you may as well forget it. However, the Coen Brothers were able to create a timely and exciting movie even better than the original. The movie centers around Mattie Ross, a 14-year-old girl who sets out to capture her father’s killer. To aid her, she hires the unorthodox but tough US Marshal, Reuben J. “Rooster” Cogburn, and sets out to seek her own kind of justice. The film may not have won an Academy Award, but it received 10 nominations and made the career of future movie star, Hailee Steinfeld.

O Brother Where Art Thou

One of the most inventive literary adaptations, O Brother Where Art Thou deftly adapts the Ancient Greek epic, The Odyssey, into a Depression-era adventure. When three convicts escape their prison in the deep South searching for hidden treasure, they get much more than they bargained for. Starring George Clooney, John Turturro, and Tim Blake Nelson, the movie follows this band of dreamers as they narrowly escape conviction, come face to face with deadly sirens, and try to win back their family. With a sly wit and likable but deeply flawed heroes, the Coens turn this Greek tale into an American masterpiece.
