Sappy and Unlikely

I am biased towards this title -- I live in the town it was filmed in. In fact, my street was actually shown in it but, that aside, this movie is very weird. It is unlikely that the events that take place in it would ever happen. The people are just, basically going through the motions. The acting is not that great considering the fine actors that appear in it (i.e. Patrick Swayze, Piper Laurie, Mary McDonnell, Barbara Williams.) I suggest this film for it's location. Sharon, Pennsylvania is a typical steel town and the director, Amin Chaudri captured the rustic images quite well. In fact, many of the location shots seem to be done just to showcase the area. See this movie if you have nothing better to do.
