The Civil War --155 freaking years ago -- remains alive in the South. This middling flick plays off this sad, ridiculous situation and manages to milk it for a few laughs. (Which I think helps explain the unusually low ratings and bogus allegations about the film by some "viewers.") Marc Maron is good, the supporting caste and the story less so. If you can manage your frustration with weak characters and goofy reasoning, you can survive the film's ending.
