Not that special but still worth it

I have heard about CHARMING THE HEARTS OF MEN through all of 2021 because it has Sean Astin (an actor I follow and usually like) in the cast but actually hadn't a chance of seeing it until last January, and didn't have that many expectations for it. When I saw it last January I simply liked it, nothing more.The movie is set in 1964 during the Civil Rights movement when Grace Gordon (Anna Friel) returns in her home town in the South and discovers that while her options are limited, discrimination towards black people is plentiful and with the help of a congressman (Kelsey Grammer) she ends up inspiring historic legislation that allows opportunities and protections that were never given to women.While the plot was a bit hard to understand and it was saved by the last 30 minutes, the acting is generally good and the settings nice. It was also nice seeing the Southern black people's lifestyle, with their singing and dancing moments and the like. Not certainly a must see but just a time passer and nothing more (well, not all movies are meant to be masterpieces, right?)

In search of focus

I notice that at least one other reviewer here thought along the same lines. There are things to like here, and in the end it sort of comes together, but it rambles while trying to focus on one theme -- is it primarily about a somewhat of a society deep South woman trying to catch a husband since she is broke? Or is it about the Civil Rights movement? Well, yes to both, but it takes a long time to make up its mind what the primary focus is.

I'm not familiar with Anna Friel, but she was good here as the down and out ex-society woman who realizes she needs a husband. After after a few wrong turns she finds a Congressman -- Kelsey Grammar, who also does nicely here. Meanwhile there's Civil Rights tension -- particularly later in the film -- especially when Friel's character becomes the hostess at a restaurant and there's a sit in. The ending is a little bit too good to be true, with a mix of white and Black people dining at a newly opened restaurant. But that's okay, the film does, eventually, make its point.

It's nice to see Diane Ladd and Sean Astin in supporting roles.

Why should you watch this film? Well, you've got to be interested in Civil Rights stories or Kelsey Grammar, or you may feel the film drags.
