It's very, very much worth seeing.

I seriously can't imagine anyone not liking it.

There are a few moments when the picture's easygoing pace turns into wobbliness, but these are insignificant compared with its many moments of shrewd insight into the lives of amusingly shaded but very recognizable human beings.

A commercial American movie with a real feeling for its Midwestern locale, and an unsentimental generosity towards its characters.
