This is a fun little film for those who don't expect more from it than what it is. Grandview brings life in a small rural Midwestern town to the screen. I spent my formative years in a couple of such towns, one being the exact filming location (Pontiac, Illinois).
It's the story of a young man struggling to forge his own path in life in an environment with limited opportunities. Yeah, this type of movie has been done before but nevertheless I found it to be endearing, funny and worthwhile. Big-city slickers may disagree.
