I liked how the film enabled the audience to really learn the characters and get involved with who they were, this made it entertaining and somewhat enjoyable to watch. (Regardless of whether the profiles of each "character" had an extreme bias placed on them via editing)What I didn't like was how the film portrayed small town Americans as lovable fools who, through no fault of their own, are completely ignorant and don't know how to be the "global citizen"of the "global community" that city folks dream about. Regardless of which party you are; the structure of society is family. Small towns know how to do family. It's a community. It's a FAMILY! Members of families generally tend to hold the same viewpoints. So it should not come as a surprise to anyone that the members of the Crawford community hold similar values. Just like heavily populated urban areas. I just moved to a small town in Texas. It's different for sure and a little overwhelming at first. "Don't mess with Texas" "Everything is bigger in Texas" and other like slogans predominate the general outlook. One thing stands true: Texans love their state AND their country. They want the best for both. This POSITIVE outlook is completely contrary to the many stereotypes placed on Texans as a whole. There's lots of other BS in this film that's pretty disgusting and not worth commenting on. Small town America is based on family and that's where many honest and polite individuals come from, don't mess with it.
