In a single day, best friends Bell Granger (Laura Breckenridge) and Belle Scott (Anna Faris) cut their ties with the tiny town of Johnson's Mark, Ga. Scott tells off her idiotic boss, Dwayne (Judah Friedlander), and quits her oppressively boring job at Whitey's Warehouse. Meanwhile, Granger dumps her self-absorbed boyfriend, backwoods hotshot Tracy Hampton (Fred Weller). Together, the girls begin a madcap scheme to raise money to move to the booming metropolis of Atlanta.

Very cute and funny movie. Farris and Brekenridge were great together, adorable, smart and sexy, all in one.

A funny-chica-flicka. If you are from the south, you will be able to appreciate this hillbilly comedy.

I liked it. I'd seen this on cable in 2006, but not the first 1/2 hour or so. Laura Breckenridge, as Bell, is adorable and acted very well. Her smile alone helped make this film enjoyable. It's not easy using one's facial expressions to carry a scene. This was the first film I'd seen Anna Faris in, and as Belle, she is funny, quirky, and independent. Seems some Southerner's here take this silly indie comedy much too seriously. It is a comedy, people.

[IMG]http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b106/hereinmyhead/t78094cf5er.jpg[/IMG] This is a really cliche ridden comedy. I have to say though I am the first to jump on Yum-Yum's Anna Faris bandwagon and anything with her in it is fresh to me. The story concerns Bell and Belle. Two gals living in a trailer in BF Georgia. Belle (Faris) is desperate to escape to Atlanta with Bell in tow. Not much to recommend here but if its on TV then give it a shot for I was pleasantly entertained at 3:00 AM in the morning.

A goofy, dumb, grating lightweight comedy that's crying out to be a TV sitcom.

Funnier than just about 75% of the really expensive Hollywood yukfests, plus it's clearly conceived with just as much heart as goofball irreverence.
