    Too much cheese

    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.

    Very Southern

    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.

    Too Fake

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

    Fake accents and dumb acting hurt this good film

    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.

    Horribly fake accents...

    I realize that many of the actors are from northern states and Canada, but apparently none of them are proficient in accents. At least, not Southern accents. But, I decided to try watching anyway.

    Cute concept, but an abject failure when it came to story lines and characters. There are too many flaws to recommend this movie to anyone.
