It's nice to hear someone else actually likes this movie. I'm a very selective cinema viewer and I liked this, with the caveat you do have to suspend some disbelief. I can understand where people are coming from who say the plot could be stronger, or that the accents are a bit overdone. It is a bit like Hollywood's bucolic idea of the south more than what a North Carolina town is really like nowadays. But still, those possible flaws notwithstanding, I found it a rather pleasant way to spend two hours. It's not about a supercharged plot; it's about living with the characters.
And the fact that there's no violence and no sex. Not only is there no sex as part of the plot, but sex is never even referred to any way even glancingly. And almost no profanity. Yet the movie was aimed at adults. I'm not saying clean always equates with good quality, because it doesn't. But I found that aspect quite refreshing.
