This show, which reunites the undeniably charming Bilson with The O.C. creator Josh Schwartz, is a goodie that mixes heartstring-tugging moments with lines like this: "There it is. Rock bottom. I just played 'Dixie' with my butt."
-
There are no twins, reality stars, or vampires, er, witches, but you're not alone in thinking that's the most preposterous concept of all. Surprisingly, cast and crew succeed in making the sugary sweet illogic palatable, if not a gourmet delight.
-
It's a good cast, and Porter in particular works very well with Bilson. The show just needs to find a way to transcend both formula and Southern stereotypes.
-
It goes down pretty easy if you'd like to set down for a spell with a disarmingly pleasant little down-home melodrama.
-
There are parts of Hart of Dixie that need addressing. The pace lags at certain points. And some of the characters, sometimes even Bilson, are more like caricatures.
-
The setup sometimes feels as airy as an Alabama breeze, but most of us will like the characters, and that provides some grits, er, grit, as well as a decent set of legs.
-
I did catch enough of "Hart of Dixie" to tell it's formula absurdity for the "princess" demographic of magical thinkers who now imagine being lifesaving doctors as well as rescued royals.
-
Hart of Dixie is a stack of familiar scenarios stitched together to form a pretty if not terribly substantial quilt, of the sort Zoe encounters in Bluebell.
-
The show is cozy, predictable, comfortable and, like a good ole' huntin' dog, not in need of serious housebreaking.
-
Perhaps with more attention to concrete character details and less reliance on silly stereotypes, Hart of Dixie will manage to grow into a show that does not provoke multiple fits of eye rolling.
-
Hart of Dixie doesn't look to be much more than what you'd unfortunately expect.
-
If you're looking for some sentimental lesson-learning, the wafer-light Hart of Dixie may fill an hour for you.
-
Watching Hart of Dixie is like mainlining praline. Your mind will rot before your teeth do.
-
This CW show is so silly and lightweight it might possess unexpected appeal for its sheer camp factor, as well as the opportunity to see the South depicted as a place as exotic as the dark side of the moon.
-
The smart way to go would be to turn this mess into a savvy comedy, but that may be asking too much.
-
Meryl Streep would have trouble making Gerstein's never-been-there, never-done-that creation sound anything but ludicrous.
-
What follows is a silly, youth-oriented CW drama packaged as a fish-out-of-water yarn.
-
What demotes it from a C to a D is some of the laziest plot setups ever, as well as the dumbing down of "Friday Night Lights" alums Porter and Cress Williams.
-
Funny and talented, she [Rachel Bilson] tries painfully hard to make the show work and occasionally comes close to overcoming some of the worst writing since Gutenberg invented movable type.
-
Hart of Dixie is basically "Northern Exposure" dumbed down to a nanoscopic scale.
