This is worth watching if you don't have much to do, or if you enjoy low- budget films. I've read a lot of critical comments from people that most likely feel disappointed in the film. But keeping in mind the budget of this movie, you can't expect super acting. Other than this, I thought there was decent talent involved in this film. Filming was quite good, and yes (like the other reviewer) I've also lived in Arkansas; though it was in the capital and not in rural areas like in this movie. People stereotype Way WAY too much about rural states in America. Loads of talent in many professional areas comes out of rural areas. And yes, rural Arkansas is beautiful, particularly in the northeast and during the fall season! 3.5 - 4 stars ... a below average movie overall, but the critical bashing is without justification if one considers all factors involved.
