1. I thought it was a very mediocre film...more like a made-for-TV

movie. Very Lifetime channel...in a bad way.

The characters were contrived. The Southernisms (accents included) were fake, forced, and wildly exaggerated. The "cutsie" factor was saccharine sweet and waaaay too much.

Also, how is it that this great doctor she meets, who clearly feels she is some kind of soulmate, ends up dumping her at the last minute with almost no apparent sadness...? It was very inconsistent with his character in the film.

It was just poorly done.

On edit: Oh, and I forgot to mention that I was dragged to the movie by a friend who loves sappy run-of-the-mill chick flicks. We walked out and she said, "That movie was REALLY stupid!" :rofl:
If it wasn't good enough for someone like that, I really don't get how the indie film snobs are into it!
