Teenager Nola (Sabrina Carpenter) travels and lives off the grid in a van with her father Clint (Steven Ogg). Suddenly, her father dies and she sets off on her own. It's a struggle. She encounters religious do-gooder Marcie, garage owner Miguel (Danny Trejo),and troubled teen Blue. All the while, she dreams of finding her long absent mother Cheryl.

This is an interesting off-the-grid and coming-of-age story. It threatens to be something more intense but it never really push it to the next level. Despite the dangers of the road, she finds only people who are helpful to varying degrees. It is highlighted by a very deep performance from Sabrina Carpenter. One thing I would do is to make the van a much bigger presence. It is the center of many situations and ends up being the final talisman. This is a terrific performance from a young actress in a somewhat compelling story.

This film start with a girl "Nola" swimming at the swimming pool, and her father "Clint" jump into the swimming pool with her scene! As turnout, this film is about Nola need to survive in her life with the van, after Clint die! Entire film full of boring conversation, and annoying overuse scene! Such as, overuse of the grocery shopping scene, overuse of the eating scene, overuse of the driving scene, overuse of Nola dreaming her father scene, and overuse of the singing song scene! Make the film unwatchable! Barely laughable scene is, Clint receive phone call with a pizza! At the end, Nola attending the van gathering! That's it! Wasting time to watch!

This movie touched me in most of the scenes, when she threw away her father' clothes and then wanted to get 'em back also when she hugged her mother, also when she came back to the repair guy to thank him. I loved how she got back the Van like she knew that it's the only real thing remaining for her and the only thing that will be always there for her. I loved Sabrina' Performance and all the cast as well also the original score (soundtrack) was so touching. This movie tells us that whatever life throws at us, we have to move on and keep going.
