"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!

I think my son clued me into this one. We watched it as a family and I laughed until the tears started. It is a goofy show about taking a chance to find romance. We later invited some close friends to watch it with us and got the same response. In fact it was even funnier to watch my buddy laugh until he could scarcely breathe. The two boys are brothers from Texas. Their Dad has an accident hitting two boys on their bikes. While they are healing at the house, they are all just sitting around chatting and one of the boys shows a picture of his family so every one can see. Elliot, the one in the gray tee, looks at the picture and falls head over heals for this guys sister. He figures out a plan to meet her, so he and his brother go to Idaho to meet her. The plan is quite unique, they pretend to be the family's exchange students from Hungary, and it gets very funny from there on. They eventually get figured out but the ending is good. I love this one!

This movie is just too funny. I live in Alaska where the winter's are long and I can't work anymore due to health problems. When I get really depressed I pop in a Mormon flick like this and start laughing. I especially love their "accents". And what young men will do to get the girl of their heart! Funny!

I "took a chance" on this movie. If you watch it maybe you too can build a relationship based on lies and deceit.
