| | Wholesome and Entertaining | Anonymous 12/28/2011 | | Great film for families with younger children. Funny to see Billy Bob so different. Clint Eastwood & Frances Fisher's daughter's debut. Lot of great names in this one. |
| | very family oriented | Anonymous 02/01/2007 | | If you are tired of porn, nuclear explosions from a car gas tank and ready for a real classic then check this one out. Your kids can even watch it with you. I dont generally like movies set back in the times of depression era but this one is much different. |

| | One of my top 5 comedies | 08/20/2010 | | Ditto to the previous review. When you laugh through the whole movie, it's a comedy, and a great one at that. I saw it at least 6 times. |
| | Comedy | Anonymous 04/27/2010 | I would never call this movie a drama or thriller. It is a comedy through and through. I watched it at least half a dozen times. I picked up more each time. I laughed so hard! It is great!
This is a light hearted, family comedy that everyone will love! |

His girlfriend Diane (Sandra Bullock) disappears from a roadside gas station, and Jeff (Kiefer Sutherland) compulsively searches for clues of her whereabouts.
