Good Movie, But!

I enjoyed this movie very much, it was cute. When I saw the preview and who was in it I was hoping for so much more. The main problem that I had with this movie was the inconsistency of the locations.

The initial location of the movie was suppose to be Columbus, Ohio. I am from Columbus and I know the streets and locations. However, many of the locations were in Petersburg, Virginia. I live in Petersburg and have for over 30 year. When she got off the bus in what was suppose to be Butte, Montana, that was again in Petersburg, Va., Heretick Weed and Feed Store on Bollingbrook St to be exact. The location right after that was Cowlings Barbecue Resturant on Rt 460 in Waverly, VA. Those types of missed details were irritating and took away from the overall storyline for me. I know that certain cities are selected to be used as a back drop locations, but if you are going to use locations don't use the name of stores or restaurants that people may know are Not There.

It could have been a great movie if the storyline had remained consistent. Jumping from Blair Underwood to reality got tiresome. I hope that you will not let my comments deter you from watching this movie. It was good and I would like to see more like it. I would like to have seen a different ending, boy gets girl for good, but the closer with "Fantasy" was well done.
