- Who'll love it
- One for people who love a story where everyone knows everyone and politics junkies. The small-town setting is half the character. Liked The Trouble with Harry or Local Hero? This is a good next one. Critics were cooler on it, but audiences had a great time.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Zips along, at 1 hr 50 min.
- What might put you off
- Rated PG-13. Probably too much for younger kids.
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
