This may work for you if you settle at the outset for a nostalgic, all-American mood piece.

fresh:
Here are two things I never thought I'd say: I like a movie about fly fishing, and Robert Redford has directed one of the most ambitious, accomplished films of the year.

rotten:
Redford's movie is too little show and too much tell.
– Peter Travers,
Rolling Stone,
12 May 2001
fresh:
In its determination to emphasize character and thoughtful content over formulas and facile sensationalism, it's a movie that's proudly out of step with Hollywood trends.
– Hal Hinson,
