The story centres around a waitress/baker who dreams of an escape from her immature husband. If I were her, I would have dreamed of an escape from her horribly screechy-voiced co-workers as well. And perhaps the director, who seemed unable to draw decent performances from any of the central cast, including Keri Russell (there are scenes that make you cringe almost as badly as Russell is cringing on-screen).
Pretty much the only redeeming factor in this film was Nathan Fillion's portrayal of a likeable neurotic doctor. However, his character makes decisions that are never really explained or explored and thus remain mainly as background to the waitress' life.
Still, the script is not quite run-of-the-mill enough to deserve to be completely crushed. And Fillion saves a lot. So my grade is perhaps more kindly offered than it should be.
