Four very boring characters, an extremely unfunny road trip and drama that's not as convincing as a daytime soap opera. The main problem here is the character's credibility on any level, as none of the them are believable at all but they're simply unoriginal stereotypes from every hillbilly comedy. Patrick Swayze, Charlize Theron and Natasha Richardson work with Thornton but it's unlikely they'll be sending him any signs of moonshine after such an assignment with one-note characters. Most if the reviews, professionals and amateurs, have agreed with this film's assessment. " It gets hot and you get a rise and if you don't knead it they get old and stale," you may enjoy the cracker barrel philosophy and crude humour. So a disappointing story and production, in spite of the very good cast.
