    The best thing about "Free Ride" is the lack of pressure to be about something. Trusting its talented cast to embody their own truths, it ambles and weaves, leaving space for the characters, even folks briefly bumped into, to nail a specific attitude or situation.

    Good-hearted, eccentric and wry, Ride goes nowhere fast, but it has a fine time getting there.

    The results are often wickedly amusing.
