One Coen Brother is both not sufficient, or one too many. If it’s the unsuitable Coen. Oh brother.

That’s “Drive-Away Dolls,” a crude, clunky and carnal romp that runs bits and items of “Elevating Arizona,” “Fargo” and “Burn Earlier than Studying” via a lesbian bar tour of the southeast, and might handle barely amusing within the course of.

Left to his personal gadgets, Ethan Coen — sans brother Joel — is only a generic vulgarian greedy for laughs out of an ill-considered cartoon of a cultural commentary comedy.

Margaret Qualley of “As soon as Upon a Time…in Hollywood” and Geraldine Viswanathan of “The Beanie Bubble” and one of the best of the COVID lockdown rom-coms “7 Days” co-star as homosexual ladies of 1999 Philly who tackle a one-way drive automobile delivert to Tallahassee simply to get out of city.

Cocky womanizer Jamie (Qualley) simply received caught dishonest, and buttoned-down and uptight Marian (Viswanathan) was going to the nook of Florida aptly nicknamed “Florabama,” and never due to its enlightenment and tolerance.

“Why would anyone go to Tallahassee, Florida?”

“My Aunt lives there!”

“Can’t she MOVE?”

Good one. No. Severely. Sentencing DeSantis there looks like becoming punishment.

However the man who arranges such drive-and-deliveries, Curlie (deadpan Invoice Camp) has these mobsters delivery a Eighties drug supplier (aluminum case) briefcase there he’s working for. He mistakenly assigns the Sapphic sisters to that beat-up Dodge Aries by mistake.

We all know what our vacationers don’t, that the man who owned the case (Pedro Pascal) was murdered by corkscrew to accumulate that case. And no matter is in it, anyone needs it actual dangerous.

Jamie doesn’t know, and taking out an old style fold-out map and marking up the Southeast’s best number of lesbian (rhymes with “bike”) bars, she plots their trek. They’re in no rush. “Dismantling the patriarchy” takes time. And Marian...has wants.

The disillusioned mob lieutenant (Colman Domingo) and his goons (Joey Slotnick and C.J. Wilson) will simply must discover a solution to observe them on this pre-cellular cellphone (virtually) period. Questioning Jamie’s ex (Beanie Feldstein) is just the start of their issues.

Marian’s deliberate forward. She’s received a replica of Henry James’ “The Europeans” to shine off. The top mobster is studying James’ “The Golden Bowl.” To which the viewer can sigh and titter, “Higher them than me.”

Qualley trots out Mama Andie Macdowell’s drawl, Viswanathan does her greatest tight-ass flip, Feldstein goes tough-broad to restricted impact, and not one of the large names in glorified cameos can cease the bleeding.

Bar pick-ups and a spirited encounter with the “very dedicated lesbians” of a girl’s faculty soccer workforce, what passes for a resort resort in Tallahassee, intrigues involving a sure “household values” Senator (Matt Damon) and a hump-anything chihuahua give one an appreciation of how low this Coen will go, letting us determine that the Coen married to Frances McDormand is the fashionable one, the man who received Denzel to make “Macbeth.”

Perhaps. Perhaps not. However suffice it to say, Ethan’s movie-making with out Joel is missing the sounding board that made even their worst excesses (“Hail, Caesar!”) marginally higher than this.
