Judging by the ads, you might think that this tale of a former high
school prom queen who returns to her small Minnesota town to reclaim her
old boyfriend is a light story filled with big yucks and a happy

and shattered dreams that coyly takes a few cheap potshots at the
clueless folks who populate a small town.
