The Town That Came A-Courtin'

This movie was odd and very cheese...too much so. This is coming from a girl who loves cheesy Hallmark movies. The acting, the story line...it's all pretty rough. Clean, but rough.

In the first several minutes, some of the cast talk some unrecognizable accent they consider Southern. My family have been Southerners for over 300 years, and I have never known anyone who talks this way. Moreover, some of them they act dumb. Southerners have the same distribution of intelligence and culture as anyplace else, and some of the cast are an embarrassment to Southerners, and to the classy author, Ronda Rich. Otherwise, it is a clever story, original and entertaining. Several minutes into the film, the actors mellow their vocalisms and antics, rendering it more enjoyable to watch. Some supporting cast members are superb. Too bad it took me three attempts over two years before I could get past the opening scenes of braying fake Southerners. Worth watching.

I'll be honest, the lead character's voice was so annoying I almost couldn't handle it! But I'm glad I did as the turned out to be a pretty good movie! Clean & funny, but with an unexpected plot twist. I'd watch it again.

Horrendous fake accents and phony people. Lauren Holly had too many facelifts or too much Botox. Just another made for TV crappy chick flick.

Although I happen to like Lauren Holly and Cameron Bancroft, the fake southern accents got to me. I am not from the south but even I can spot terrible fake accents. It was quite painful to listen to. I am not sure why it had to be in the south or alternatively, they should have used real southern actors. This is not something I would watch again. I also thought the story line was a little silly for my tastes. I loved Cameron Bancroft in Country Remedy. I thought that was a much more realistic movie. I also liked Lauren Holly in NCIS and other movies of hers. This was definitely not one of those feel good movies that touch your heart, I am sorry to say.
