Mud, not the mud on your feet but Mud The Movie, is more or less a 2013 film despite sources such as imdb listing it as a 2012 film. It only saw 2 premieres in 2012 at French film festivals (notably Cannes).

It's an interesting tale of two fourteen year old southern boys named Ellis and 'Neckbone' who are exploring the Mississippi when they encounter Mud. This man, with the odd name of Mud, is mysterious and seemingly-wise, and the tale revolves around their relationship with him and his aspirations to reunite with his love interest. It isn't one of those movies that makes you feel bad. It reminds you of being a kid really. I'd almost call it an adult movie with the lighthearted feel and pacing of a kid's movie. And it's really American. I can't imagine anyone not familiar with America or southerners understanding this movie.

People Who would like Mud:

-People who like feel-good movies that don't suck.

-Those interested in southern or American culture.

-Fans of lighthearted movies.

-Fans of Matthew McConaughey.

-People interested in so-called 'modern American classics'

-Oh yeah, Reese Witherspoon's in it if that's a bonus.

-People who like coming of age stories.

-Fans of movies with young protagonists.

-People who like movies featuring rivers.

-mericans.

People who would not like this:

-Unamerican Communists.

-People who absolutely hate anything that resembles a 'feel-good' movie.

-People not that dislike southern american english.

-Those that somehow have a problem with Matthew McConaughey.

-People who hate young teens, especially southern ones.

I can imagine certain people not liking Mud, but I enjoyed it a lot.
