David Gordon Green follows "George Washington," his luminous found fable of Southern childhood, with a more conventional story of young love. Paul Schneider plays a small-town cad whose easygoing promiscuity is derailed by Zooey Deschanel, whose character has just returned home from boarding school. Their sweet, fumbling romance is captured with scruffy, low-key lyricism. The film is an awkward hybrid of free-form, do-it-yourself filmmaking and professional discipline (supplied by the wonderful Ms. Deschanel, and by Patricia Clarkson), but its beauty and sincerity overcome its flaws and hesitations. — A.
