En route they visit her ex-boyfriend and best girlfriend, now married and settled down to uneven satisfaction levels. Left alone with the uber-straight, jockish husband, Nathan scores a conquest sure to have repercussions later on. The visitors then move on to do Ecstasy in San Francisco. As they proceed farther north, the odd discordant notes grow louder. Dissatisfied with her own mate back home, Maggie mulls getting closer to Nathan. But for all his barely sublimated homophobia, bisexual Nathan isn't ready to commit to the other side of the fence. Then again, maybe he just can't commit period. Things rapidly degenerate as Nathan's behavior grows more loutish, and Maggie gets more shrill and accusatory. The trip ends with a seemingly permanent rift that wreaks damage on their relationships in Los Angeles. Yet chance-meeting a year later suggests duo might not be done with each other yet. [More]

Reviews for Race You to the Bottom
Although more than a little familiar in its road movie-style romantic banter and bickering, the film is easy to take for a number of reasons, including the witty and frequently caustic dialogue.
An illuminating glimpse into some of the more challenging complications that contemporary relationships can present.
Brown's screenplay and direction, both economical and unshowy, sketch character dynamics in crisp terms that resist the temptation to explain all, beg sympathy or heighten drama for purely histrionic purposes.
