Saw that movie. Loved it.
They went both ways on that one. Portrayed the small town as quaint and cute, but played up a lot of the city stereotypes as well. NYC people couldn't sleep because it was too quiet. Had to download sirens and subway sounds to play at night. Complained that they couldn't jog because the air was too clean. The scene with the night sky was priceless. "What is it?" But that one is actually true. Some people from NYC have never seen stars. And MOST of them have never seen the sky the way it looks outside Cody, Wyoming.
There was the "everybody carries a gun" stereotype that was probably overdone, but was put to good use.
Of course anyone who has actually milked a cow more than twice would laugh at how Clay did it in the movie. It certainly doesn't sound like that in real life. I don't think they were after authenticity here. But people who have actually milked a cow are getting scarcer and scarcer.
