Occasionally clunky pacing aside, the film is a delightful bit of cinematic comfort food.

The film’s narrative simplicity can be charming or frustrating, depending on your feelings about awkward dialogue and overreacting actors.

The film wastes several talented performers with its low-key, rambling humor and one-dimensional characters.

The story is spread too thin, or perhaps there just wasn’t that much substance to begin with.

It’s just that this one has nothing much to offer, archetypal characters giving rote performances of a script that needed serious workshopping and edge-adding.

Lambert aims for gentle, Lake Wobegon–ish nostalgia, but the jokes never land, the undifferentiated small town confers no sense of location, and its eccentrics aren’t particularly weird.
