I noticed that the site for selling this video has left my name out as a co-star. Please ad my Name starring Sherrie Rose and Melissa Behr! Thank you very much. This is a story of two women, we worked three hard years, a complete labor of love. I hope everyone enjoys it.

Here we have a movie with an honest-to-Goddess STORY moving it along. No explosions, no gunfire, no special effects, no car chases. Just a damned good movie about two women who hit the road on their motorcycles, and find their souls while surfing the asphalt.

Melissa Behr and Sherrie Rose [motorcycle enthusiasts in real life] teamed up to write, produce, direct, AND star in ME AND WILL. It's the story of two women, Will and Jane--- burned out from the LA club-and-drug scene---who meet in rehab. They decide to set off on a Holy Mission: To find the chopper ridden by Peter Fonda in EASY RIDER. So they bust out of rehab and point their Harleys toward Montana, where Will is certain the Captain America bike has been stored lo these many years.

Will and Jane struggle with personal demons as they ride. Besides the temptation to use drugs, there are lingering "family of origin" problems which haunt them. Their friendship grows as they open up to each other, help each other, and encounter a variety of unusual---and sometimes frightening---people on the road.

Speaking of the road, get ready for some spectacular scenery. And the road sequences are set to some great tunes; anyone who sees these scenes and isn't tempted to jump on a Harley and head out on that highway probably has their spirit up on blocks.

In the end, things work out as they often do in real life: A spirit-lifting victory, albeit a victory intermingled with a poignant loss. Be sure to watch the credits all the way through, because there's a surprise second ending well worth waiting for...

If this film doesn't go down in history as the female EASY RIDER I'll be very surprised. And disappointed.

My wife and I, both avid riders, enjoyed this movie very much. We have seen it twice. I normally do not purchase movies, and of the very few I would consider, this will be one, (as soon as the price drops)! You get something different out of it each time. The women who starred in it do a wonderful, convincing job of the characters they portray. At times, it seems almost like a documentary in its reality. No Hollywood BS or hype in this film! What an independent should be! Anyway, my wife and I hope we will be seeing more from Melissa and Sherrie in the very near future. These two women are what independent film makers are all about.

Me & Will is an excellent, vastly underrated movie, but this "new" 2008 version from Peace Arch Entertainment is a completely pointless dvd rerelease. It has nothing new added to it ; in fact, it has even fewer extra features than the 1999 release did. The only thing noticeably different is the newly revamped cover artwork image and title graphics (which now misleadingly make co-star Patrick Dempsey out to look like the star of the movie) and a retweaked picture which is now presented in a matted widescreen format. The image does look a little better but the sound is still mediocre and it's not enough to save this dvd. Like I say, I like the movie alot but it deserves better dvd treatment than it received here. Overall, I'm very dissappointed with this rerelease and will not be buying anything from Peace Arch again.

Movie: A+
DVD: F

A great picture from a couple of women who seemed to have poured their hearts out. This is a film for anyone who has taken a road trip to exorcise some personal demons. Great scenery, fun secondary characters, and a nice slant on some modern social problems. watch to the end of the credits for some vengence we have been waiting 30 years to see.

This movie was purchased to add to our biker collection. It was a little different, but all in all a good movie. I had no idea at the time, it was about 2 girls hitting the road on their bikes..in search of purchasing the Easy Rider bike that was in storage at an old shop somewhere. I would give it 4 stars and it was worth the cost and time viewed..

The film, also directed by the two co-stars, captures the wild night life in many cities early on. I felt that the surreal nature of the rehab unit was on target. The on the road sequences ring true thanks to the experience of the stars with their own bikes.

If you're a fan of Easy Rider, you'll really appreciate this movie. Enjoy the ride. It's at least as important as the destination.

HINT: The surprise ending is well worth the wait.....

Me and Will is a loooooooooooooow budget movie. It's a girlie road movie which have it's highs and lows as they try to find the ultimate machine.....

The reason why I bought it is because DOGSTAR play a song at the beginning.....

Keanu Reeves plays bass in Dogstar. They were good for the 30 seconds they were on film.

I watched the rest of the movie ~ a bit too depressing for me...

I thought this movie was wonderful! My boyfriend and I (both huge biker enthusiasts) rented it one night just to see what it was -- we had not heard anything about it. I have to say I was very intrigued by the story, and my boyfriend and I neither one said a word during the whole movie. After it was over, the only thing to say was "wow". I think it is one of the best movies he and I have seen in the last year. In fact, I'm ordering the DVD -- and Melissa, you are credited on that page!

As motorcycle movies go, this one is okay. There were a couple items I thought distracted from the plot and weakened the climax of a movie that had potential. The in-your-face drug use was excessive and the fact that every character was either a junky or a wife beater was just too cliched. And the climax of finding the Easy Rider bike is so lame, it voided the complete plot of the movie. And why can't a motorcycle movie be shot at a location where the rocky mountains isn't a constant backdrop? How about making a move about the Dragon's Tail in North Carolina or Route 66 or anywhere but California? If you can find the CD used and you're a motorcycle die-hard like me, it's worth it.
