“Pregnant Sally unknowingly falls for the stepson of the deceased father of her baby and has to deal with his homicidal family.”
I spent a lot of time in fast-food restaurants as a kid. God, I remember the first McDonald's in the little town where I grew up, Farmville, Virginia. When I was about 10 years old, the first McDonald's went up, and that was like the biggest treat in the world. So I don't know, maybe it hearkens back to that. I'm not as enamored of it now. I've been able to eat at the French Laundry since then, so McDonald's has kind of paled.
