Featured review
This is a well-oiled little film that flows back and forth between characters seamlessly. Filled with laughs over things you know you shouldn't be laughing at, but they are so ....
No slick filming, just down home, small town life and it's filmed that way.
I could have done without the character Olivia Newton-John played, but she was funny while doing it! And it isn't her fault, the character just seems to be something tossed in because she was there.
While it's funny, it has some things to say. Enjoy!
