Film about dumb people aimed at a dumb audience might have worked a minim better had it been set in the seventies... It doesn't seem at all believable to me, even though you might argue there are families and communities like this... If there are, they are the exception rather than the rule. The people in the world I live in are not as ridiculous or intolerant. Nah - I don't buy it. It seems very clichéd. Also didn't like the fact the fiancée Alexis Bledel isn't a character.
Katherine Heigl, Tom Wilkinson, Linda Edmond, Grace Gummer (
Frances Ha and
Larry Crowne).
Is a good example of what Roger Deakins was talking about in that it's a 'filmed play' - almost all of it is dialogue driven. Also has too many montages to music. And - if you want a good tip here - the opening credits scene is boring. Watch out for credits scenes - they are a pointer to the rest of the film.
Another lesson in not to buy films based on a trailer.
