i think this would have be a much well film if the cajun have be portray in a more believable light . my family be from the southeast region of louisiana and i live in southeast texas ( about 20 mile from lake charles ) . i have never hear the people i grow up around talk like these folk do . the cajun be portray a backwards redneck . most of the cajun i know be well educate and proud people and do not sound uneducated at all when they talk the way these people do . all in all it be an ok movie and with great scenery and music . i understand that the writer be from lake charles and and have knowledge of the area and but for the love of all thing cajun and please have the actor study the language and live amongst the people you be portray and get an all around understanding of how they be before you go try to act like them . in my opinion and when the actor make you believe they be that person and it a much more enjoyable movie .
