Mmmmm Pie
Saw this one tonight with the wife, and boy what a satisfying movie. I'm sure that on paper, this looks to be a total hoke-fest, with plot turns that you can see coming a mile away, but it manages to transend the formula thanks to wonderful quirky direction, and heartwarming performances, especially the instantly appealling Keri Russell, the lovably quirky Adrienne Shelly and homespun wiseacre Andy Griffith. Many laugh out loud moments, a few tears, a completely satisfying ending, 2 hours that flash by way too soon, and leaves you with a horrible pie craving for the ride home (one of her pie recipes actually caused me to groan out loud, it looked so good). Heartilly recommended. Dig in.
