 | Having discovered this movie several years ago, I watch it whenever I need a pick-me-up. Shot in beautiful country, it tells the story of each of the town's four graduating high school seniors, with the impact of their decisions for their futures on their families and community. It has funny as well as sobering moments. The sense of caring for one another that can come in such a place makes me want to increase its population by at least 2 (with my husband and myself.) |

| Excellent film. This is real filmmaking. Moving story without being sappy. Life's warts are shown here. But life's promise shines through. Even made me dream about living in a place like Dancer, TX. |

| A film that centers on four friends who made a pact to leave their small town arrive at zero hour and must decide if they will go through with it. The story is simple enough, and not a whole lot happens. But there's no denying it, this movie is enjoyable and aesthetically pleasing in every way. It's a treat to see an intelligent movie where the main charachters are teenagers, and that the film doesn't have to resort too fart jokes for an audience. Not one charachter is stereotyped. They are human, and they'll probably remind you of people you know. I applaud this kind of a movie, and I wish there would be more of them. |
| Rating | | | Date | March 30, 2002 | | Summary | Goodbye, Dancer, Hello, Modesto | Content
| Entertaining enough, and the half-tender, half-hazing relationship among the boys is well acted and feels true. But hey, haven't we seen Squirrel before? Yep, his name was Toad and he lived in Modesto and he dropped flags for drag races in American Graffiti. A country soundtrack replaces Wolfman Jack; a different number of the four young males leave Dancer than leave Modesto; the mode of transport is also different, bus vs. Magic Carpet Airways, but otherwise this is deja vu all over again. A small, modest movie, whose biggest fault is to go not so boldly where others have dared before. |
