time period of movie


Does anyone know why the clothes all look like the 1990's and the haircuts look like the 1980's? When was it supposed to take place? On the other hand,there are contemporary touches like a little girl riding a bicycle wearing a helmet, which wasn't common sight ten or twenty years ago. I couldn't place the time period.

Maybe they were aiming for a more classic or timeless look for the movie, maybe to fit in with the other two movies.

I wondered about that too, but figured it was supposed to be contemporary. I attributed the somewhat out-of-date clothes and hair to the rural setting.

I noticed that date on the newspaper at one point was from 2005.

small town America baby... I used to live in a small town and after moving out, I literally had to buy all new clothes because mine looked so dated. Progress is much slower in small towns, so the clothes and hair are much less modern
