**1/2 out of ****
This is a fine vehicle for John Travolta and he makes the most of it, but there is not much else happening here. The movie has a good premise and the filmmakers let us know it by stretching its limits in every single way. It has a nice small town charm to it and the characters are extremely likeable, but the story too often steers in the wrong direction and becomes too large scale. The performances are the main reason to watch this one.
