I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

How this movie was made is understandable enough. Someone had money to spend. But why it was made, other than to distribute that money among the cast, etc., is unanswerable.Led by lead Ryan Phillipe's putrid attempt at being some portion of Newman's "Hud," this is a certified mess. Bungled writing, directing, exposition. A horrid way to spend time, or a buck.I'd have to sit here forever to conjure up a redeeming factor for this bilge. Giving any sort of recommendation to this film just feels wrong, and I'd find it surprising were any of the cast members top recommend their work here as anything to include in a resume.

The language is disgusting by the loser uncle. Movie is slow, rather boring. But then again I am assuming its from the south and things are slow in the south I lived there for two years.Do not understand why our society has gone so down hill in class and respect for others when they are spoken to.It would be a difficult movie to mix two different types of classes together.And thanks I agree even on Wikipedia they ruined Under The Dome by telling what will happen.When two worlds and cultures collide would have been a great title.

I watched this movie with a grain of salt, due to all the negative reviews here on IMDb. I was expecting nothing and just killin' some time.I had to come back to the reviews here to double check that the negative reviews were actually for this movie.This was an excellent movie. The story is superb, like a really good short story I didn't notice the time and it was over before I realized it.I don't know if people were expecting something like True Blood or maybe reacting to some of the character's behaviors they didn't like or what. But let me tell you what, this is one well made, well acted and well directed movie. The filming and "artful" effects are done in just enough of a way that really tied it together as well.I was genuinely surprised that I had not heard of this movie before. I just came across it on Netflix at random.My conclusion is: it is a very interesting story that I found to be far more real and interesting than the last 30 big Hollywood movies I have seen... Maybe more.

I thought I'd heard most vulgar and profane language. I even thought I'd heard it often. But this film took the prize for having the most often, and most varied, use of bad language I have ever seen. Truly. I have seen hundreds of movies, and never have I been so dismayed.I'm not a hypocrite, I have been exposed to it. I did choose to watch it. I have used bad language in my youth. But to use it gratuitously for no reason, with young actors and actresses being exposed to it? Yeah, eventually they will hear it. But for a parent to agree to letting their son or daughter be in a film of such language? Sorry, I could not do that kind of damage to my own.The director, had no sight at all of what he was doing. Netflix said it was a Romantic Comedy. Uh, sure. Netflix described it as an Indie film, and that was true. The director had 4 previous films to his credit. And it showed abundantly. This film was for an audience that I could never be included in.Those that enjoy it, please, do not let me take that away from you. Those that have values, morals, ethics, then beware.
