There are more than enough actors from New Orleans that could have had a role in this movie to offer the robust and authentic flavor of their distinctive regional vernacular and accent. Also, it was a treat to see the socio-political and economic challenges regarding Hurricane Katrina, indigenous faith and spirituality, and the politics of business - both federal and state woven into the tapestry of a film. Just as the story of a newly wed couple is unfolding there is a seemingly respectful regard of everyday workforce hardships. Most important, there was a thoughtful mixture of actors that were well known and new faces to the silver screen. In closing, the plot maintains your interest and can be relatable to many that have live similar experiences in various metropolises.
