If you're going to watch this, and I don't necessarily recommend it, it is a decent background movie. You don't need to see every single second to get what's happening, because it's all very haphazardly plotted anyways.

Had this movie stuck to the initial premise -- a small town with one marriageable man and three single women, vying for his affections -- it would have been solid if not actually good. It just needed focus, either on the plot OR on the characters! Everyone was underdeveloped and they could even have used tropes more effectively. I think the first act could have easily been extended into the whole film (minus the pregnancy, because that just makes for unsatisfying plotting).

I have no problem with many of the component parts (acting, setting, music, etc.) but the plot completely went off the rails. Also there are some odd time jumps, one of which has an intertitle/subtitle and the other times you just have to figure it out. If you're going to have a movie that's all over the place, at least make it competently so the audience can logically follow the timeline.
