About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a feel-good, talky comedy about community, local politics, and standing up to big business; Not for you if you need a tight plot or nonstop big laughs like Book Club.
Pros: warm community vibe; plenty of laughs; heartfelt message | Cons: thin predictable story; uneven jokes; distracting flashbacks
