ThiefHott Too much of everything

Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

srdjan_veljkovic It's not very funny, but, it is "funny enough". It's interesting, though pretty silly, but, since it's a comedy, that's OK. It's not fun, but, it's not intended to be fun.All the characters are weird, though none are crazy. It has a touch of misandry, but, just a touch, much, much less than "girl power" movies that came after it. Actually, the "girl power" aspect of it is fine, if a little silly. Sure, some women do find the strength to "take on the world" when they give birth, but, not that many. Most just feel exhausted and want to run away from the world to recover.There are a few worthwhile moments in the movie, with interesting insights. Like when we learn that the bar-manager is a good man, even though he's a jerk. Or when we learn that Keri Russel's husband does love her and his abusive behavior is actually out of fear of losing her, not some "deep evil".Acting is good in general. Kerri Russel does overact a little, but in a comedy, that's kind of expected. Nathan Fillion is always great playing a confused nice guy.Bottom line - few things here are great, but, a lot of stuff is good. It's an OK watch, even if you don't like chick-flick movies in general.

Kirpianuscus it reminds "Chocolat". and this could be a beautiful virtue. it gives the touching performance of Andy Griffith. another precious thing.and the work of Keri Russell is more than seductive. but its force is result of the courage/science to be more than a lovely modern fairy tale or good cloth for romance. it is a film about happiness and choices and friendship and life in simple sense. not soup for soul but a smart wake up.and this defines it. as an inspired option for a form of magic who is only part of every day stories, with the basic truth about the courage to become yourself. so, a film. maybe seductive, maybe, useful.

echo-50285 This movie touched me in so many ways... I could relate to every character and the casting was great. The story was original and the way the pies were used in it was fabulous. I cannot remember a comedy/romance that I have enjoyed in many years and was so impressed with the writing and directing. So, after the movie ended, I looked up the cast and crew and noticed that Adrienne Shelly who played "Dawn" had died at a really young age and saw that she was also the writer and director. Wow! So impressed! Of course I researched her and found out about her horrific death and was devastated. I think she would have made many more amazing movies which I would have made sure to see each and every one of them.

Syl It's hard to imagine that Adrienne Shelly who wrote, directed, and co-starred as lovable Dawn Williams in the film has been gone for 5 years after a brutal murder in New York City. This film was her lasting legacy. When you watch the film, you are seeing genius at work. Granted, there are some flaws in the film but nothing could take away from what it brought. The cast stars Keri Russell as Jenna (a pie making genius) who works as a waitress at Joe's Diner in a small town. She's pregnant and in an unhappy marriage to abusive Earl. Cheryl Hines plays Becky, another waitress who has an invalid husband at home. Adrienne Shelly plays Dawn, the awkward but lovable waitress who finds love unexpectedly. Anyway, Jenna's pregnancy and her job as a waitress makes her realize a lot about herself. She has an interesting relationship with Dr. P. (played by Nathan Fillon) in the cast. It's a great small film. One of those gems that you wished there were more of. I loved seeing Andy Griffith play Joe. He's great.
