"This is one of those smaller movies that was overlooked even when it was released. A very young Reece Witherspoon, Patricia Marquette, and Beau Bridges star in this coming of age film set in a small town. I have enjoyed watching this movie over the years. It has a small town flavor and also addresses neglect, abuse, but also kindness and rising above what some perceive as a challenge. It is all built around a sweet love story. The acting is good, and this is the movie that introduced me to Reece Witherspoon."
