5/10
A noble effort...
16 June 1999
Great idea, very poor execution for "The Spitfire Grill." They did the research on the area and the accents (even though it was filmed in Vermont), then dropped the ball when it came to a believable script and dialogue. I enjoyed Marcia Gay Harden's performance the most, even though she didn't have the best material to work with. Burstyn was also good. I was amused by the character of the sheriff, who in these films is either a redneck or dishonest jerk or the voice of reason.

In sum, a "5" of "10," particularly because they do a poor job of development with the lead character, who seems to make the transition to civilian life too easily.
