Regular cinema- goers of the early 2000s would have easily been forgiven for assuming Riding in Cars with Boys was just another Drew Barrymore vehicle (no pun intended), but there’s more two this dramatic comedy than meets the eye as I discovered for myself thanks to the film’s first ever Blu-ray release, produced by Aussie
