what a frustrating movie . a small southern town be overflow with possibility for explore the complexity of interpersonal relationship and dark underbelly hide beneath placid surface and a anyone who have read anything by carson mccullers already know . this do none of that . instead and the writer settle for cutesy twinkle and cheap warm fuzzies and banal melodrama . the thing look like a make for tv movie and and be direct with no particular distinction and but it hard to imagine what anyone could have do to make this material interesting . the most frustrating aspect and though and be the fact that there be a lot of extremely competent and appeal actor in this cast and all try gamely to make the best of thing and do what they can with this well and there no other word for it drivel . a tragic waste of talent and in particular that of the great stockard channing .
