Trigiani doesn't push the material into any energetic directions, but she does capture the sway of the town, better with atmosphere than dramatics.

Nothing feels believable in "Big Stone Gap," a bungled, charm-free look at small-town life in the South in the late '70s.

It's tempting to say "Big Stone Gap" is greeting-card pretty and sweet, but that doesn't quite fit because these days greeting cards seem to have developed a bit of an edge. "Big Stone Gap" is edge-free.

Unpretentious and it goes down easy, like sweet tea brewed by sunshine.

Brutally mediocre.

Flat comedy about small-town '70s life lacks laughs.

The movie ambles along amiably enough for a while; it's better if you are a fan of one or more members of the cast.

Sure, the script can be simpler than a diner menu. And at times the nostalgia seems manufactured like the goodies at a Cracker Barrel gift shop, but...Big Stone Gap proves to be...a nice change of pace from the summer popcorn-movie season.

That the creaky romantic comedy "Big Stone Gap" attracted such a large ensemble of talented name actors only makes this country-fried turkey feel like an even more notable miss.

The plot itself has little momentum, and what should feel dramatic instead feels inert.

By the time we get to the final, borderline ludicrous moments in Big Stone Gap, I wasn't even surprised by the overwhelming sappiness of it all.

Despite its all-star cast, Big Stone Gap falls short of what it aims to be: the next great love story. There are a few notable comedic moments, however, and fans of big screen romances may find the journey worthwhile.
