      Steve D The great cast kept it engaging. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/03/24 Full Review Laurie G Was a dreadfully boring movie. Kept waiting for something to happen but it never did. So much whining!! terrible accents, again the stories just went nowhere you kept waiting for something to happen. I think there was underlining substance there for one of those stories to take off and actually go somewhere and let something actually happen but it never did! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 10/10/23 Full Review Randal S This movie wasn't bad. I rather enjoyed it bc it shows every reason why I left living in a small town in Oklahoma. It was quite nostalgic but probably should have been a play. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/27/23 Full Review Lieutenant D One of the worst movies I've ever seen. The acting is not bad, but the script is terrible. I kept watching to see the beginning of the plot. There was no plot. Save your time Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Not good! I can't believe Colin and Orlando allowed themselves to be in it Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Studded with Oscar-tier veteran performers and younger capable talent, this film doesn't have more appeal beyond that. By the beginning of the third act it becomes quite apparent that the story is nearly completely pedestrian. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Joe Leydon Variety Uneven performances, flat direction and an overall sense of narrative arbitrariness keep "Main Street" from being anything more than a minor footnote to the career of much-lauded playwright and Oscar-winning screenwriter Horton Foote. Feb 23, 2012 Full Review Alison Willmore Movieline Main Street is an ensemble drama that functions as a display case for a range of regional drawls, from the authentic to absurd. Rated: 4/10 Sep 8, 2011 Full Review Chris Hewitt St. Paul Pioneer Press It's not groundbreaking, but it's pleasant enough. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 20, 2011 Full Review Marshall Fine Hollywood & Fine Like a small firecracker that turns out to be a dud..as dead as the city it depicts..Durham ought to sue for libel. Sep 9, 2011 Full Review Brian Orndorf BrianOrndorf.com There's something interesting here at the core of the conflict, but the story is offered so little room to breathe, coming across rushed and undercooked. Rated: C Aug 26, 2011 Full Review Andrew Moraitis FILMINK (Australia) This disappointingly suffers from some uninspired direction and a clutch of odd casting choices, which never work.
