Title: Nice try. Good locale. No return trip planned.
Product review: I was looking for a 'small' film filled with goodcharacters. The premise was enough, fine with me. 4 guys in a smalltown trying to decide if they will move on to the big city. You don't need much of a plot if the characters are good. The comic relief character is not well written and directed without restraint. The Robin Williams-Jar Jar Binks like character doesn't cut it. It even weakens the main premise. The other 3 main characters are surprisingly serious about their futures and that makes it interesting. But it is unlikely that they would take this idiot to the big city with them. They tried to mix pathos and slapstick in one character and it didn't work. My advice-- take that character and go against the stereotype somehow, please. Either make him smart and clumsy or dumb but hard-working ( a paper route in a town of 81 can't be hard work). Maybe give him a girlfriend. Something.
