of course this be one these movie your girlfriend make you sit through and which and normally and be ok. normally they aren not this flat and usually these film be more determine at which genre it go for . this film start of with the prospect of a romantic drama and sprinkle with some comedy here and there and which would have be ok. the setup be of course obvious and but there might have be some interesting thing to show have it be allow to continue that course . to me it seem a if this film be be instruct by two very different director and because the depiction of alabama population in the last 2/3 of the movie remind me most of all of cartoon character rather then actual homo sapiens . this way to go would also have be fine if it have be take all the way and in stead of bet on two horse like this . have the movie go for either the farce or the drama and i would probably have give it a 5/10 and but it do not it mix up the two and get a cocktail of boring and flat out failure . negative .
