Pleasant family fare with a twist, 30 January 2003
7/10
Author: dhalgren74 from Tampa, Florida

Well-made if rather familiar plot (think of better films like "Eve's Bayou", "Member of the Wedding", & "The Man In The Moon") about a homely-but-bright adolescent girl (Keel) living in a sleepy southern town of the mid-1950's. Knight, who was once as slim and curvy as Lewis (see "Petulia"), makes a lovable grandma to this kid and the ever-underrated Lewis a lively aunt. Robinson adds a sort of cliched warmth as housekeeper Magnolia, though she has a few good scenes keeping Miss Tiger Ann in line. Lewis (previously wimpy and weaselly on the "X-Files") is charming as Keel's stuttering yet stalwart father. Little happens in the plot outside of an inevitable family tragedy & a lot of rain but it makes for easy viewing on a slow news day.
