Review of Small Town Saturday Night (2010) by Mike C — 02 Jun 2010

Wow, not even five people have rated this one on imdb, and no one really has rated it on flickster/facebook either. I really wanted to like it, and gave it a generous rating, but it's just a little too much.

The town is a little too quaint...if it's going to be that small and have that much going on, well I don't know what to say. A whole lot takes place in this movie, in this small town, with these few people, in about eight hours.

On top of that, the twists are fairly predictable or disheartening. It does accurately capture a few smalltown elements, and there is a certain grittiness to it, much like Larry Brown novels. Bre Blair is a super fox and fits the role of redneck queen of sorts well.

I finished it with no problems and liked that not everything was pleasant, but it's just too busy and unbelievable to be taken too seriously.
