Reviewer: ERD - - March 30, 2006
Subject: Mediocre
A 1954 formula film made for the local theatres showing its town. Nothing special or picturesque about the towns. Film editing is choppy. "Our Town is strictly made to be seen by the town's movie patrons.

Subject: Are the people this dull too?
These 2 films, one for Doylestown Pa, the other, Levittown basically use the same voice overs, but with different images, to tell of that same thing. Myhometown is great! There isn't that much narration, and the shots of shopkeep after shopkeeper juts makes these 2 films dull as a doornail.
