What a nice surprise! I have been feeling particularly homesick lately! Nostalgic for Dogwoods and things Southern. And, as luck would have it, I stumbled on a movie on Prime to help relieve my condition. It was rated three and a half stars, but I was intrigued. Good Intentions: "Off-beat southern comedy....". Who knows? Could be another "Stars and Bars." So I checked it out. Starred Luke Perry and Elaine Hendrix. And Pam was a surprise...played by LeAnn Rimes, who also sang the theme song. The story was a bit hokey because even the redneck women I know are a lot brighter than Ella. But Luke Perry absolutely nailed redneck guys. Down pat. However, the best thing about this movie was the art production. The symbolism and imagery, including Southern idioms, was very accurate:. Georgia red clay roads, rusted tin roofs, cotton fields, ads for boiled peanuts, ball caps, old pickups, Daisy dukes (complete with dimples), double strap tank tops, etc. And LeAnn to sing the theme song. The story was pretty much a redneck girl story. I think The Bellamy Brothers' song "Redneck Girl" should have been in there somewhere. Basically, the leitmotif of the story was "Redneck girls are hard to handle." "That ain't right," but it might be true! I give it 5 of 5stars just out of nostalgia. On Amazon Prime. Enjoy.
