A gem of a movie *SPOILER*
*SPOILER ALERT AT END*
I loved, loved, loved this movie. The acting was superb by all involved. It is a fun-to-watch romantic comedy and while watching it I felt nostalgic that they literally don't make movies like this anymore. I also thought it represented small town life quite well.
Also, I adore seeing a man fight and scratch and claw to keep a woman he loves. Even if it is fiction. Sigh.
If I were Christine (Spacek), I would've so dumped Walt and ridden off with Joey (Petersen) WHEREVER he wanted to go. :)
