What drew me into watching was the opening music. Then I was lured further by great characters and excellent acting. Sure, it has small town America and small independent film feel, but that becomes its charming feature.But what lifted it to the 10 rating for me was the gentle, flowing lyrical music that just warmed my heart and added more than any visual could.Take it as it is and watch it lightly. It should then beguile you.

It is exactly the movie you expect it to be. There are no surprises, but it is still a good movie. Such a sweet tale that will pull you in, and make you comfortable for a spell. The cast is all very believable, and you can tell that they are well, and truly committed to the rolls. Nikki could not be more vapid when she first arrives in town, and you can see the immediate bond form between her, and the locals, especially her new leading man, Bill. He just doesn't know it yet. For such a wholesome film the swearing of some side characters seemed out of place, and disconnected, really made it easy to tell what was just filler. This movie will touch you and you will be glad you sat for a while, and lived with these folks. I Enjoyed my time in the country, and you will too.

Biased as I am since it is set in the town that I live in, I found this movie to be cute, endearing and well made. For the most part the directors stayed away from the temptation to add violent or objectionable material while still creating a realistic portrayal of real people going about their daily lives. The cinematography was worth of an independent film such as this one, with unusual but revealing camera work throughout. The script stuck to a simple narrative while accurately depicting life as a local in a small town. There were a few continuity issues, but these were not recognizable in the moment. The acting, for the most part, was strong. The current of the film was laid back and made one feel at home. All in all, a good, family oriented film.
