I had seen the promo / article in People mag a while back and finally found it at a video store. I could nit-pick a fair number of things from a rail accuracy standpoint, but overall they did a pretty fair job. <br /> <br />My take on the situation is that you had this dwarf (hopefully that's an appropriate term) who worked in the back-room at a RR hobby shop and who kept a low profile, presumably due to years of people treating him differently or giving him a hard time about his dwarfism. He had a boss that accepted him as well as a group of friends in the local railfan community (the guys that did the slide shows in the beginning of the film). Then with the death of his boss, this sort of sanctuary (a' la hunchback of Notre Dame) gets taken away. However, by virtue of this old depot being left to him in the will, he can establish his own, new sanctuary ( - hence the name of the town "Newfoundland.") He goes there with the intent of just wanting to be alone - so that people don't pick on him or ask a lot of dumb questions, but the people start to show up... and none of them care about that aspect of him... and they all have assorted problems of their own. <br /> <br />It is a fairly slow, sorta dark movie... but as someone above said, it avoids the car crashes, gunfire and violence of so many movies out today... that's a nice respite.
