Errors in geography: May Jo calls a friend and mentions she and her daughter just left North Carolina. However, the desert-like terrain of the area through which they had been driving clearly was that of the Southwest and not the mountainous region of Appalachia.

"Tumbleweeds" tells of a good hearted North Carolina mom with no class who, with her 12 year old daughter in tow, hits the road for California to escape from a bad relationship and find happiness. Not unlike "Anywhere But Here" and similar movies, the daughter seems to have a better sense how to manage their lives than good ol' mom does as they meander through a slice of life with much of the run time dedicated to the mom-daughter interaction and relationship. "Tumbleweeds" is a journeyman comedy-drama with good performances by the two female principals. Likely to be most enjoyed by moms with teen and older daughters.
