An enjoyable comedy for the whole family

(5 out of 5 stars)

""Take a Chance" has an amusing and appealing storyline--2 country brothers rescue a traveling salesperson who shows them a picture of his sister. One of the brothers feels she is his soulmate and the two brothers travel across country to find his true love. Not exactly planning this adventure out, they pose as the family's 2 Russian exchange students that had actually cancelled their trip. Heyborne and Allred do an outstanding job, switching to and from their bumpkin accents to Russian.

While not exactly Oscar material, it IS a well-done, tender, humorous, touching and all around good family comedy. You don't often find comedies that aren't nasty and raunchy these days--if that's the genre you're looking for--this absolutely fits the bill!"
