Don't be fooled by the silly title or the droll cover of this book, for inside its pages is a real treat. There is a movie being made in the small town of Rosalie, MS and the owners of the three local bed and breakfasts are all vying to play host to the famous actress who will portray the starting role. As they each woo her in their own way over the course of one weekend, they are up agaist a band of conservative old bitties who form the "casserole patrol" to picket and protest against the film being made. In the end, each player gets their due and the Hollywood actress learns a thing a two about the way things really are in the South. This book pokes fun of the sterotypical Southern characters we often see and is all the more entertaining for it. I would recommend it as a quick and very light read to fans of Southern ficion.
