Reviews for Tru & Nelle
6 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Truman returns to Monroeville to stay with relatives over Christmas after running away from military school. Nelle and Big Boy are there to welcome him. But is Truman cursed? Jenny's house burns down, Boss Henderson the bully takes his Christmas tree, and two innocent black men are likely to hang by a mob. Appealing in its southern small-town ambience (except for the whole Klan and race relations thing).
