Kalamazoo? A feel good down to earth touching story

Let me start out be saying that I saw some of the movie being filmed and have a tie to the movie with my car being used in it. That said I am hoping I can be unbiased. The movie gets right to the story with hardly any filler. The actors all did a great job, I have seen so many movies where actors just seem to have a feeling that there time is being wasted and it shows in there performance, This movie did not have any of that. The story was followed through without any forks in the road to get you confused about the plot. The locations of the city and homes looked wonderful. I have to say that with all the good performances that where given Joanna Clair Scott and Josie Davis's really stick with you. In closing this is a fun movie and if you have been to Kalamazoo it will be a real treat for you to see it on the big screen. Ron
