You forgot to say "in my opinion" Dave.

The LA Times review also comments about Keillor's condescending, derisory attitude towards those "he loves" (your claim). Others have too.

It is fine for you to love this film. Just as it is fine for others to detest it, and others (like myself) to feel pretty ambiguous about it.

There is no One Right Way of reacting to any film, even ones you want everyone to love because you do.
