Funny and appealing, this is the kind of quiet and assured Hollywood movie that used to be more common in the 50s; the local flavor is caught perfectly, and every member of the cast shines.

Low-key stuff with an assortment of eccentric rednecks, probably better suited to the small screen.

In spite of the participation of a number of talented people, Full Moon in Blue Water is almost as immediately forgettable as its title.

With the vast majority of the movie unfolding at the bar, this might as well have been a play, albeit one nobody would have wanted to see.
