From NetFlix:

Urbane Philadelphia ad man Will (Josh Hopkins) heads to small-town Lebanon for his father’s funeral, and the road leads not only to closure but to a revelation when the 35-year-old meets his precocious teenage cousin, CJ (Rachel Kitson), and her winsome teacher, Vicki (Samantha Mathis). As his friendship with CJ deepens and his warmth for the married Vicki grows, Will comes to realize that life can’t always be summed up in a catchphrase.

It probably can’t get any more real than this film that sadly captures the difficulty of living in a small town. Almost a feel-good film because of the way in which characters help each other with their problems, it is just those problems that are all too real and present in today’s world. You learn about those problems early in the film, so listing them is not a spoiler. But you will have to watch the film to discover what, if any, are the resolutions for those problems.

• Will is a lonely 35-year-old dissatisfied with his life and finding it difficult to come to terms with his memory of his deceased father.
• Vicki is in a troubled marriage and sees life and opportunities passing her by.
• CJ is pregnant in her last year of high school and wants desperately to go to Drexel University for college. She suffers at the hands of her spiteful school mates, her conservative Catholic father, and others in the small(-minded) community.
• Will’s mom faces poverty in her old age

Seems like a microcosm of today’s world, wouldn’t you say ? But it is NOT a downer film. Stay tuned for the good parts.
