Quotes

Wesley Benfield: Wow, this smells great.
Mattie Rigsbee: Hold on, young man. You need to say the blessing.
Wesley Benfield: I never said no blessing.
Mattie Rigsbee: Well, it's easy. You just talk to God like... like he's a friend who just gave you something.

A heartfelt drama -- wonderful!
24 April 2001 | by (Macon, Georgia) – See all my reviews

This is probably the best dramatic film that I've seen in years. Ellen Burstyn is amazing (as allways). Jonathan Taylor Thomas proves that there is more to his career that Home Improvement! He really turns his character into a rich, developed lead. Probably one of his best efforts. This is an excellent film, its just a pity that it isn't distributed more prominantly. Definitely rent it if you can find it, you won't be disappointed!
