The heart of this film is the writing. The cinematography is stunning. The film follows a romantic comedy formula but the characters make it an engaging experience.

Once you adapt to the slower pace the movie offers great laughs throughout.

How many who have lost parents were able to connect to Walt and understand his desire to know more about his father? I know I did. The writing was brilliant, the props were spot on, and the scenery was beautiful. I smiled, laughed and was brought to tears at the end. Great movie!

This movie reminds me of a Garrison Keillor skit from the Prairie Home Companion radio show. Great twists in the dialogue, humorous witty story telling designed to engage viewers in an immersive trip to odd likable characters working through their lives. I laughed many times at the writers intentionally landed jokes mocking Hallmark movies and so many direct homages to the Carol Burnett Show along with the whole radio era story telling that never once apologized for being a movie on the 21st century. I got it from the very first scene where they were going with this film and they totally got it right! Excellent job at speaking to the thousands of writers, radio shows and decades of creative entertainment that preceded the film industry. I send hugs out for this entire effort well done, well portrayed, and expert cinematic story telling.

In think it was one of the most boring films I've seen in the past 2 years. A guy goes in a boring town to see how was his father living when he was alive. So he decides to do what his father did. So since it was a small town where no one had no future and the jobs limited, he went to work in a shop/mall where his father used to work. Dialogues are boring, the main character is the most boring. A film about how people end up being losers because they chose to remain in a city where nothing ever happens. A film about common losers who decide to stay instead of changing something in their lives.
