Unfortunate attempt at "quirky" humor., 18 February 2004
4/10
Author: mista005 from Cincinnati, OH

I finally turned this movie off after an hour of sheer boredom. There were only twenty minutes left but I couldn't see any point in prolonging my agony. From the description on the back of the DVD it sounded like a sweet, funny idea. The execution got in the way. The writing is abysmal. Not one genuine laugh throughout the movie. The writer was obviously lazy and relied heavily on the "quirky" characteristics of the Midwestern characters. Big fat dairy farmers...aren't they funny? Big-haired women...aren't they funny? Small town America...isn't that funny? Um, no. The direction was pretty pedestrian too. The actors seemed like they were floundering for any motivation at all for their characters' behaviors. Can't blame the actors though. They were obviously trying their best to shine through sub-par material. And what irked me the most was Megan Mullally's prominence on the cover of the DVD. She is given first credit on the cover but her role in the film is almost non-existent. Basically an extra. This must have been filmed before she found fame on Will & Grace or else she owed the director a favor. Basically, you could find better things to do with an hour and a half. Don't bother.
