First of all, if you've never been to Elgin, Oregon, then this movie was not for you. (If you liked it anyway, cool!) Not being familiar with the area or the characters, you probably had no way to connect with anything in the movie. Secondly, I think Chris may have written Sammyville for us, the locals who know the actual Sammy and the actors that played most of the parts. It's not a bad movie, it's just not On The Waterfront. I enjoyed seeing the actors that I've known my whole life, from their work on the stages of Union County, and as friends. I also loved the scenery of Elgin and Hot Lake. And PS- I'm going to buy it and have it autographed by Lyle, Kevin, Chris and Alice!
