      Audience Member An ultra-touchy-feely race-relations, civil-rights drama as imagined by theme-park organizers, with every character painted in broad strokes in a story that eagerly tugs at every available heartstring -- and rings false at every turn. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member It was ok. There were too many plots...WWII, pregnancy before marriage, civil rights...you just couldn't get into it very well. I didn't get attached to any of the charaters that much. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Jan Stuart Newsday It is one more celluloid testimonial to the cruelties experienced by Southern blacks as distilled through a Caucasian perspective. Rated: 1/4 Nov 8, 2002 Full Review Lou Lumenick New York Post Looks awfully like one long tourist spot for a Mississippi that may never have existed outside of a scriptwriter's imagination. Rated: 2/4 Nov 8, 2002 Full Review Michael Rechtshaffen Hollywood Reporter A not-so-Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood with a hefty helping of Re-Fried Green Tomatoes. Nov 8, 2002 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Sep 14, 2005 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com Rated: 2.5/5 Jun 12, 2005 Full Review Edward Havens FilmJerk.com A solid cast, assured direction and complete lack of modern day irony.
