Rating: Summary: Painful Review: ...This is a film that you hate to criticize because it is apparent that it was filmed with good intentions, excellent production values and good acting. But the painful truth is that it is an awfully slow movie (at times excruciating but you keep thinking that it might pick up - it doesn't), and there are very few laughs in it. The funniest thing about it is the fact that Megan Mullaly is given the starring credit on the dvd box and she has a total of about three lines and less than three minutes of screen time! Talk about false advertising! So what if the film has no offensive language or violence? Those factors alone do not make a good film.
Rating: Summary: Great for all ages Review: Enjoyed seeing this movie with 3 generations in my family. Plenty of humor for all ages. This film takes many twists and turns for a completely enjoyable experience.
Rating: Summary: Heartwarming, Uplifting and Side-splitting! Review: First of all, let me just say that you may think me a bit bias, as I was lucky enough to be an extra in this film (for about 2 seconds.) However, all that was revealed about the movie was that it was based on the true story of a man who, after getting stood up at the alter, could no longer "stomach" attending wedding cermonies, but somehow gets roped into another one. I missed every preview and was heartbroken not to see my "film debut," but finally saw the movie at a local theater as a paying customer. As I watched the film, it became clear that my part in the production was over in the first 2 minutes of the movie (meaning I still have approximately 13 minutes of fame to look forward to.) The rest of the story was all new to me. It was the best money I've ever spent. The portrayal of the heart of Hoosiers, even in the simplest of settings, was very true to life. Also, the way our "low delight level" was presented throughout the story just goes to show how happy we, as people, can be when surrounded by, well, mostly nothing but land and each other. I truly believe that this is a film that would be great for all Americans to see. The recent events of Sept. 11th have opened many peoples' eyes as to what is really important in life, and that is exactly what this film portrays! It truly is a film coming in to its own time. It shows us all how we can laugh at ourselves and each other...together! More importantly, it shows that we can all get along with each other, help each other, and learn from each other no matter where we are from; and that if you can't do that, you need to look inside yourself, identify your fears and face them. What a lesson!
Rating: Summary: This is a good film made by good people for good people. Review: First of all, let me say that I'm fed up with movies today. I hate all the sex, nudity, cussing, sin, glorification of self, and horrible morals and values that are shoved down our throats in every film. This film has none of those. I believe this is a good movie made by good people for good people. I thought it was hilarious, wholesome, and one of the best movies I've ever seen. Even though it was low-budget, it was still undeniably professional. It may have a word or two in it that I don't care for, but I'm not certain because it's been over a year since I last saw it. But my overall impression of it was unbelievably better than American Pie (1 or 2), Half Baked, any Tom Green movie, Scary Movie, etc; even though I admit to not seeing most of these. If your tired of all the sin in the world, this movie will give you an overwhelming breath of fresh air. Praise the Lord for films like these!
Rating: Summary: Uplifting movie Review: Having grown up in a small town such as Grass Creek and now living in a South Florida Coastal town, I find this movie very refreshing and uplifting. No violence, no sex scene and still the plot and characters are interesting enough to keep you watching. I had a chance to visit Grass Creek recently and ran across some of the genuine people of this quaint town. Many were in the movie as extras and some had speaking parts. They really are "a nice bunch of folks".
Rating: Summary: The Best Man in Grass Creek Review: I am originally from Grass Creek, Indiana and that isn't the only reason why I love this video. It is funny, heartwarming, a great family video for anyone to watch, especially if you know a groom with cold feet! The movie is true (sometimes unfortunately) to Hoosiers and as I said before, it's hilarious. Small towns from the Grass Creek-Kewanna area were used in the film and locals were used as extras, my old neighbor Dave Sommers even played a sizeable role as the best man's main sales competition. Buy this movie and you'll enjoy it for sure.

Rating: Summary: Grass Creek Pastor loves movie Review: I am the present pastor of Grass Creek United Methodist Church. It's the only church in Grass Creek, Indiana. I came after the filming was completed. The movie was shot on several locations in our area. The church used was actually Fletcher's Lake UMC because of it's location. The movie was wonderful! Many of our own locals were featured and we enjoyed viewing the movie with some who acted in it. They gave us background information. This is a movie that the whole family can enjoy. I can't wait to get my copy. I'm sorry it didn't do better in the theaters. It should win an award. My son is a film studies student at IU and said it was one of the best films he's seen in a long time. Kudos to all who were involved.
Rating: Summary: What a delight and a surprise! Review: I got this movie from the local library on a rainy weekend and I didn't expect much, but I was pleasantly surprised. This movie is HYSTERICAL. Little goofy asides (like tying a noose around the stuffed cow's neck) or the infamous hot-water-heater attire scene. I laughed like a fool at several parts of the movie. I'm sure the residents who live around my apartment wondered what in the heck I was doing!! I'd never heard of this movie before I found it at the library. What a pity that it is not more widely known, because it is one of the best movies I've seen in the last two years. As prior reviewers said, it's a good clean movie with a good message and a sweet conclusion. However, the most important thing - it is FUNNY, FUNNY, FUNNY! I loved it!
Rating: Summary: from grass creek area Review: I grew up near Grass Creek. Yes there really is a real town called Grass Creek. I was thrilled to get to see all the local people I grew up knowing, in this movie. Including my mom, two aunts, brother, the Pastor of our home church(the guy with the grin on his face that worked at the Indianapolis Star who tried to out do Adam)and a variety of other people. It is a great movie. I appreaciate the wholesomeness of it,it's a family film. I was dissappointed that it didn't do as well as "The John's" had hoped it would. I thank them for giving us a wonderful film to take our families to see. It is so very funny. Including the boar's head on the our church wall and Dave with his goofy grin running through the hot coals, or Chris's cows eating the wedding cake. This also gave the community something great to do and anticipate. They all had a ball filming this movie. THANKS FOR A GREAT MOVIE>>>>
