Reviews
Soggy Bottom, U.S.A. holds a mixed reputation among critics and audiences alike. With a rating of 5.3/10 on IMDb, many reviewers have described it as a delightful exploration of small-town life, though some felt it lacked depth. The Hollywood Reporter stated, 'While the narrative may sometimes meander, Ben Johnson’s performance brings a warm charm to his character that captivates the viewer.' On the contrary, Rotten Tomatoes critics were less forgiving, noting that 'despite its intentions, the film gets bogged down in predictable plotlines and shallow character development.' However, fans of rural comedies appreciate its endearing qualities, as a viewer on Metacritic remarked, 'It successfully pulls at the heartstrings, invoking the spirit of community and togetherness. It’s not perfect, but it’s a sweet reminder of the value of small towns.' The film's quaint setting and simple storyline might not appeal to everyone, but it resonates with those who cherish tales of camaraderie and local charm.
