Boring, and 3. condescending tone. The first 2 are self explanatory; the girl was great and there were about two laughs throughout the entire movie. That leaves the condescending tone with which this movie (Script & Director) decided to belittle everyone but the girl. The whole point of the movie (b/c movies have points) is to show how backwards, simple, and corrupt the "fly-over" states are; and their simpleness is amusing.

There could have been a cool movie underneath all that saturated fat of one-dimensional characters, poor writing, and fake ass quirkiness. The film tried way too hard to be meaningful and eccentric and it missed on both marks. The well-acted silent suffering of Ty Burrell was the only redeeming quality in this over-churned slop.… Expand

Just another excuse for Hollywood to mock middle class white people in flyover country. The only wise and profound person was an 11-year-old token black child. They even managed to rope in Hugh Jackman to mock God and praying.
