By the time we get to the final, borderline ludicrous moments in Big Stone Gap, I wasn't even surprised by the overwhelming sappiness of it all.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Fresh
The movie ambles along amiably enough for a while; it's better if you are a fan of one or more members of the cast.

That the creaky romantic comedy "Big Stone Gap" attracted such a large ensemble of talented name actors only makes this country-fried turkey feel like an even more notable miss.

It's tempting to say "Big Stone Gap" is greeting-card pretty and sweet, but that doesn't quite fit because these days greeting cards seem to have developed a bit of an edge. "Big Stone Gap" is edge-free.
Soren Anderson, Seattle Times
Rotten
The plot itself has little momentum, and what should feel dramatic instead feels inert.
