Tim McCanlies' charming feature directorial debut evokes the spirit of Capra's Depression comedies and Thornton Wilder's Our Town, without the nostalgia or sentimentality of those works.

Top CriticA spiffy valentine to small-town America.

I don't care if it's a weekend-long slice of life in an incredibly scenic hick town with no major plot line; in fact, that's what I liked most about it.

The characters and their emotions are painted with a big, sloppy brush. Texas-sized.

By no means an earth-shattering, important film, but it is quiet and entertaining.
