What begins as a funny, and chaotic trip, becomes an honest reckoning with aging, regret, and the friendships that survive everything. 

TAKING ARIZONA isn’t about staying young – it’s about having the courage to be honest when you’re no longer pretending.  In a culture obsessed with reinvention and isolation, TAKING ARIZONA reminds us that it’s never too late to reconnect with the people who you loved before life got in the way.
