    Empowerment

    by ccckc

    This is Keri Russell's movie, and she shines despite material that seemed a bit awkward to me. It is a simple movie which addresses things like abusive, over-bearing men, love, and fidelity, and we desperately hope for the waitress's well-being. At times, the movie lovingly observes the complexity of human behavior (as with Andy Griffith's character, and the doctor's infidelity), but at other times, it seems to rely on caricatures. Despite my complaints, in the end, I found the movie quite moving. I would especially recommend it to women, especially those susceptible to abusive relationships.

    A Tasty Treat

    by RandytheMovieFan

    Well written comedy with very serious overtones, the only drawback to me was that every male character came off as a jerk or worse. Keri Russell was outstanding. Great movie for those seeking a chick flick.

    simply delicious

    by eileenie

    i loved this movie! i could never imagine keri russell in a role other than felicity. but she completely grounds this film with the incredible ease with which she plays the role of jenna. this film is quiet and subtle enough make an impact on the viewer but is laugh out loud funny too. the pies, the pies! they are wonderful and make you wish there was in fact a pie diner on the side of every highway!

    A glimpse in to small town problems

    by H3OIndra

    I have no idea if it's real or not seeing as I've never spent any real time in a small town in the middle of America but I imagined that this movie gave me a glimpse in to the day to day interaction and problems some people may deal with. It was exagerated, but that's what made it good. The acting was well done and the story line, though not action packed, kept me waiting to find out what happens. See it and enjoy.
