      Audience Member My family comes from North Carolina for many, many generations and I found this movie offensive on so many levels. The bumbling, can hardly stand up farmer, the toothless mechanic, the maid who grew up with and was a lifetime friend of farmer Nat but still calls him Mr Banks. This movie is a disgrace and a total waste of time. Do Not Bother!! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review John H I really, really tried to like it. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/03/22 Full Review Audience Member Yiff tifff to my love\ly underpantsfox. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a nice little movie...although a bit tooo much from time to time...I couldn't really feel with the main character...but well. the thing I adored the most was Mary McDonnell... a great performance by my very favourite actres again. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Ow! Ow ow, ow! Make it stop! As an inhabitant of rural northern Virginia, I assure you that we do manage to walk without falling down, and not every judge is our cousin. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member It's a beautiful 'little' movie. Full of colours and music, views and metaphors. The ending is a bit conventional and leaves me asking 'what comes now?', but overall, just beautiful. A must buy. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Roger Moore Orlando Sentinel Writer-director Richard Squires sets us up for a feisty farce with a touch of the florid, with "crazy" Nat and the locals finding clever ways to foil the folks with the bulldozers. But Squires doesn't deliver. Rated: 1.5/4 Jun 9, 2010 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter What is supposed to be a heartwarming comedy more closely emerges as derivative Capra-corn of the most obvious kind. May 18, 2006 Full Review Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Roger Rees abandons dignity though not his native English accent to play Nat Banks, the proud but impoverished owner of a decrepit Virginia farm. Rated: 2/5 May 8, 2006 Full Review Brian Orndorf BrianOrndorf.com It leans toward the obvious whenever it can, but the overall peaceful yearn of the picture is welcoming, along with its superior, expressive thespian efforts. Rated: B- Jun 10, 2010 Full Review Mark R. Leeper rec.arts.movies.reviews The rich characters are more the attraction than the plot. The main character is nor really in the right and that point is more controversial than intended. Rated: 6/10 May 14, 2006 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide Richard Squires' uneven filmmaking debut sets the hounds of progress on the heels of an old-fashioned Southern gentleman in the form of modern-day carpetbaggers. Rated: 2.5/4 May 5, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews
