I liked the movie a lot


Perhaps, as someone here said, it helps to be from the South to appreciate this movie, I don't know. I do like the overall atmosphere, pacing, and the characters quite a lot.

Anyone else who liked it ought to check out "Poor White Trash" (2000) http://imdb.com/title/tt0204350/ which is a little rougher and not as cute but more of a thigh-slapper when it comes to laughs.

I'm from New York and I loved the movie.

I was surprised the movie was filmed in Wilmington, NC and not Georgia.

I worked the bar scene in this movie where they auction off Laura Breckenridge. It was filmed at a downtown jazz club in Wilmington. Wilmington is the home of Screen Gems Studios and they shoot a lot of movies there. But this was an independent production which means it was financed privately and on a short budget. I liked it as well, which just goes to show it doesn't take a lot of money to make a good movie.

I thought young Kevin was great - especially when Rhett taught him how to cover up his loud flatulence !!!

I picked up some useful tips myself there !! :)

PS I'm from Scotland and I loved the film. I'm a fan of Anna Faris anyway and I think Laura Breckinridge's smile is a heart-melter any day !

I don't want to ruin your day, but Anna Faris spent a lot of time getting her hair an make-up done. She rarely interacted with the crew of support actors. Laura Breckenridge, on the other hand was friendly and "up" most of the time considering the heat and all. The bar scene took us 2 days and it was hell. My wife and I did another scene with Anna Faris that took place in a discount store downtown in Wilmington. She played a store clerk and I was a customer trying on some boxer shorts. The conditions were better, but her attitude never changed. She just seemed bored. Her attitude aside, I still think she's a good actress as well as a knockout, but she doesn't seem to have that fire in her belly. Maybe it was just this production it was low budget and punishing. I'll keep an eye on her out of curiosity.
