    Overall, good movie based on a true story
    The movie was based on a true story about Herman, MN that happened in 1994 when the town got that "15 minutes of fame".

    The city leaders were looking to attract businesses to Herman. A survey showed young people, especially women, were moving out of the area for jobs. A Fargo TV station and a Mpls. newspaper article mentioned the fact about the lopsided ratio of men to women.

    This is the spark that got fueled. Other media took the ball and ran with the headlines that Herman was advertising for women to come visit.

    The movie has great countryside scenery (filmed around New Germany, MN. although, the real Herman is very similar).

    The movie makers went a little too cliché depicting 'the farmer'--- bib overalls, slopping the hogs. A little too hillbilly. Today's farmers are better than that. The most accurate scene was when they were cutting hay.

    Overall, the movie is interesting and fun.

    One unfortunate fact for the movie's opening weekend is that it was right after the 9/11 attack. Not a lot of enthusiasm for Americans to go out those early days after. Attendance in theaters across the country was down.
