3 Days of Normal (2012)
3 Days of Normal follows the story of straight-laced deputy Bill Morgan who is quite content literally living within the quaint boundaries of Washington, New Hampshire. Bill’s stable and rather uneventful life is thrown for a loop when he finds and arrests a woman, Nikki Gold, passed out in her car from inebriation. Unbeknownst to him, the woman happens to be a popular movie actress longing for some normalcy in her hectic life.

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
What drew me into watching was the opening music. Then I was lured further by great characters and excellent acting. Sure, it has small town America and small independent film feel, but that becomes its charming feature.But what lifted it to the 10 rating for me was the gentle, flowing lyrical music that just warmed my heart and added more than any visual could.Take it as it is and watch it lightly. It should then beguile you.
It is exactly the movie you expect it to be. There are no surprises, but it is still a good movie. Such a sweet tale that will pull you in, and make you comfortable for a spell. The cast is all very believable, and you can tell that they are well, and truly committed to the rolls. Nikki could not be more vapid when she first arrives in town, and you can see the immediate bond form between her, and the locals, especially her new leading man, Bill. He just doesn't know it yet. For such a wholesome film the swearing of some side characters seemed out of place, and disconnected, really made it easy to tell what was just filler. This movie will touch you and you will be glad you sat for a while, and lived with these folks. I Enjoyed my time in the country, and you will too.
"Slight" is the word that springs spontaneously to mind after watching this tiny and trite, almost microscopic film. It feels more like a long preview of something better than a completed piece of art and we are left waiting for and wanting something, anything to seriously surprise or deeply delight us. Very little ever occurs at all, no characters are layered, or unpredictable or transformed, and much of what action there is is transparently unreal and therefore uninvolving. And yet, movies like this deserve their due faint praise, if for no other reason than that they successfully rise above the great and nearly constant morass of truly gaggable junkwork that so many current features seem to be made entirely of. It is not awful. It is peaceful and pleasant and pretty throughout. No jiggly camera, no cartoonish sex or antihuman violence. The acting and production is professionally competent. I'm almost grateful after having seen it... it didn't hurt me. It didn't empty my soul or defile my mind, and these days that is almost enough for a recommendation. Almost, almost. When just not being betrayed by a movie feels like a needed gift... what does that tell you about where we are in cinema today?
I along with Most of our small town went to the Lodge to watch the movie,My Husband and 3 children were about 40 minutes into the film.when we had to leave.. in just that short amount of time we laughed soooo hard our ribs hurt! I was very sad we didn't get to finish But my husband was fresh from surgery the day before and wasn't feeling well.needless to say i will be one of the first in line to buy this movie! and i intend of purchasing one for all 5 of my children for Christmas.Job well done folks! we LOVED it! And i really hope those of you who have not seen it give it a chance! you wont be disjointed at all i can assure you.
