Elizabeth Pena and Christina Applegate play Carmen and Kathy, two women from Los Angeles with practically nothing in common. Carmen is a working-class Latina and single mother from the East Side barrio, while Kathy comes from a wealthy family in Beverly Hills. However, both of their boyfriends, Richie (Tony Dean Fields) and Lyle (Peter Berg), have ended up in a jail in the Mojave Desert as part of a confidence scheme. Carmen and Kathy want to be near the men they love to show their support, so they head out to the desert in Kathy's convertible to wait out their stay in jail as they share living quarters in an old trailer home. Across the Moon was the second feature film for director Lisa Gottlieb, who previously helmed the cult favorite Just One of the Guys and episodes of the TV series Dream On. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

Lisa Gottlieb's comedy Across the Moon comes to DVD with a standard full-frame transfer. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. There are neither subtitles nor closed-captions on this release. There are no supplemental materials of any consequence. This is a pedestrian, but relatively inexpensive title from Image. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
