A road movie that gets derailed when it's lead characters barely leave their original destination, KWIK STOP debuted at the 2002 South By Southwest Film Festival. Mike and Didi (Lara Phillips) head out on a trip to Hollywood after the latter catches the former shoplifting in a store in their small home town. But the adventures they have on the way have decidedly mixed results for Didi, who finds herself pregnant, in jail, and being used by Mike to get back at his ex-girlfriend before they've even left their sleepy Chicago suburb. This sets the tone for the relationship between the two main protagonists, and KWIK STOP quickly develops into a film that evokes several differing emotions, with Mike and Didi sucked into some bizarre situations, only to find life cruelly spitting them out as their fortunes fail them. A low budget indie treat from director Michael Gilio (who also plays the character of Mike), KWIK STOP offers a gritty, realistic tale that comes together to form a memorable feature film debut from the talented auteur.

By turns infuriating, charming, wistful and annoying, Kwik Stop winds up a touching, if frustrating film.

Blindsides us with unexpected humor and sadness, and is one of the unsung treasures of recent independent filmmaking.

This is the debut feature for Columbia College graduate Gilio, and it shows great promise.

Gilio does some interesting things with his direction, but his strength comes in his very believable scripted dialogue and his acting
