Film Review – Off the Rails

“Off the Rails” is a comedy that arrives with some level of sadness. It represents the final film appearance of Kelly Preston, who passed away in 2020, with the feature dedicated to her memory. While wrestling with an uneven career, at least Preston goes out with one of her better performances in recent years, adding her personality to a story about a lapsed friendship being renewed during a trip through Europe. “Off the Rails” isn’t anything new, and it doesn’t try to be wacky, with director Jules Williamson and writer Jordan Waller looking to examine the challenges of personal connection, with life often getting in the way of special relationships. It aims to be meaningful, and while it doesn’t achieve much sincerity, it offers engaged performances and a brightness of spirit that should easily connect it to its target audience.
