Best movie ever!

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I blame Northern Exposure. It beget a string of copy-cat formula TV shows, such as Men In Trees, Doc Martin, etc. They take a educated slicker and plunk him down in a hick town full of eccentric, colorful, and cute characters. The city person is snotty and arrogant and learns the meaning of life from the yokels. In fact, the yokels are usually just stupid and annoying.As in most trends, the trailblazer has some merit. While Northern Exposure had its moments and no really stupid locals, although it is incredibly patronizing toward Joel, the city slicker. Each subsequent version of the formula has degraded further and further. Thus we arrive at the latest copy-cat incarnation, 800 Words, a hopelessly dimwitted TV show with perhaps the most annoying character ever seen in such programs. I am speaking of course of Woody who could out-annoy even PC Penhale (Doc Martin). And that is quite a feat! The program has absolutely no redeeming value and is just plain terrible. There really isn't much more to be said. Curse you Northern Exposure.

We love the show. Can't really understand George's lax, no rules attitude regarding his children, but we do enjoy the show. Being from the St. Louis area, we have noticed Shay wears shirts with Mizzou and St. Louis logos on them. What is the connection?

Yes, I know teenage girls are difficult - doesn't mean I want to watch it for entertainment. She has no redeeming qualities, has a low monotone voice, constantly complaining and being mean to everyone around her. She ruins the "feel-good charming" aspect of the show. Plus there is just no compelling reason for this family to live here and they really really seem to hate everything about it. So....?

Formulaic and predictable and a family mending a horrible hurt...I love it. No painful PC garbage; no eggshells to navigate and no squishy characters you MUST accept...just normal folk. I am so glad to enjoy such a fun show. Another reviewer said its all about family...that person nailed it spot-on. The entire story revolves around a struggling family dealing with the terrible loss a loved matriarch. The son, the daughter and dad each handle this loss in different ways...oh and pardon the tears, this is too entertaining to cry a bucketful tears. The entire cast is tight and well directed. I could binge-watch this show in one. I highly recommend this show to one and all. Give it a whirl...you may like it or not. All I know is that this is a show I enjoy.
