This is a film rich in good intentions, but they are so Hallmark-cleansed that much of the real tension is gone. The right people and pieces are there in the right order -- right down to the third cow in the barn -- but what was missing was truth, honesty. It is a suitable "feel good" picture if it doesn't take too much to make you feel good.
Another thing: "Sandy Bottom Orchestra" suffers from is what almost all pictures suffer from these days: the sound FX and music are mixed way in front of the voice tracks. That might work for "Terminator" (and I'm not sure it does), but good grief, "Sandy Bottom" is a narration and dialogue picture! Why is the VOX mixed so far back, and therefore hard to discriminate?
One more thing... I find great irony that a touchy-feely picture about a small town in Minnesota (tightly knit and very American, you know) was shot in Canada.
On the other hand, the DP should be congratulated on great lighting, especially for the exterior shots. "Magic time" was used a lot and very well. It gave most of the exteriors a very lush look without reverting to oversaturation during the timing and transfer process. Good job!

I came across this movie on line and , having nothing better to do I checked it out. I'm a lifelong musician myself so I'm always interested in movies with a musical theme. This was a good one. One complaint, some of the scenes that showed the actors playing their instruments were faked so badly it was hard to watch. That's the biggest flaw I could see. One more thing, Interlochen Center for the Arts was mentioned many times. For those who don't know it's a real place in Michigan with an international reputation as one of the finest places of its kind in the world. I personally have known people who have gone there. All in all a worthwhile film.
My wife and I thought this was a sweet movie about life in a small town. Maybe because we can relate to the main character who is a square peg in a round hole. We enjoyed the film and it made a nice quiet date night.
If you live in a small town you will recognize many of the characters and themes.
The story revolves around the mother and daughter, their stories intertwined but each stands on its own.
My three teenage boys probably wouldn't have cared for it. But if you have a teenage daughter she'll probably love it.
This based on a book by Garrison Keillor. If you like his "Praire Home Companion" show you'll like this.

I agree with all of the positive comments above. Our church in fact will be showing this movie in our Fall Movie Nights.
A great family and coming of age film. The scenery is beautiful, the acting very natural, the plot realistic, and the underlying theme is beautiful. It is a treasure of a movie for it's return to a simpler, more wholesome town that is reminiscent of Lake Wobegon - Garrison Keillor's mystical Minnesota town. I especially think it teaches the value of forgiveness, staying to your principles, and hope / faith.
I think all churches should review this film for showing to preteens as a lesson of being yourself and not getting caught up in the pressure to confirm to any popular lifestyle.

A truly heartwarming "slice of life" drama. Conductor of the local town orchestra of Sandy Bottom, Minnesota quits just weeks before their big concert at the agricultural fair. Resident Norman Green must take over the conducting chores now. Green's wife, Ingrid, is choir director at the Lutheran Church there and is getting grief from the minister and music committee about some of Ingrid's music selections. There is a very touching scene when the pastor of the church lets Ingrid know that he is aware that it was Ingrid who left the weeks supply of food for the minister and his family, after she discovered that the pastor's wife has a very debilitating disease. To make matters worse, Norman Green's guest soloist on the Mozart Piano Concerto storms off one week before the performance. Now Ingrid must step in at the last minute and perform a piece she has not tried in years. Very moving performances by Glenne Headly as Ingrid, Tom Irwin as Norman, Madeline Zima as daughter Rachel Green, and veteran actress Jane Powell as close friend Delia Ferguson. This film will have you laughing in places and crying in places, but the story is never maudlin. A must see film for the entire family.
