This movie has gotten a lot of praise on various websites I go to, so I had to check it out. I wasn't entirely dissatisfied with the movie altogether, but I do feel it could have used less quirky ways of telling a simple story. I enjoyed all of the actors/comedians' personas, and the heartwarming element that Yara Shahidi brings to the screen is perfect in her performance. And Alicia Silverstone is back on screen (who would have thought). The whole small-town competition element feels lifted from a Christopher Guest movie, and I felt like there were performances and accents that came close to those used in "Drop Dead Gorgeous" or "Little Miss Sunshine." Nevertheless, it has good qualities that make this movie a good viewing if you want a light-hearted movie to get you through an afternoon, but don't expect to get blown away.
