He started out to follow General William Tecumseh Sherman's destructive march through the south during the Civil War, but he ended up marching through the New South looking for love. When his girlfriend abandons him for another man just as he’s about to start shooting a funded documentary on Sherman’s March, director-actor-writer and teacher of filmaking Ross McElwee tells us right away that he’s “searching for romantic love, where people stay with each other for a long time like more than two weeks.” McElwee's wry humor touches every scene in the picture, but it is particularly evident in the times when he faces the camera alone and confesses his loneliness or ineptitude with women or when he falls down the hill with great comic timing at a Civil War monument. When his girlfriend leaves him, McElwee goes back to his hometown of Charlotte, North Carolina, to lick his wounds and figure out what kind of movie to make.

He meets the swimmer, a daffy, aspiring-actress named Pat who wants him to film her doing cellulite exercises, during which she confesses that she doesn’t wear undies. Pat leaves town to pursue her acting career and to catch up with her idol, Burt Reynolds. Rey nolds becomes McElwee’s minor obsession, eventually filmed glad-handing a crowd and kissing babies at a publicity appearance, but Pat doesn’t come back. Next, he gets connected with Claudia, a right-wing interior decorator, who takes McElwee to a remote survivalist camp where they’re building lead-lined bunkers and a tennis court. He goes to visit an old friend and former teacher, Charleen, who thinks he should put down his camera and get busy making babies. She introduces him to Deedee, whose house is stockpiled with food and water to survive two weeks after a nuclear holocaust, and who really wants a Mormon priest for a husband. Charleen gives him a bad time for deciding Deedee’s not right for him: “You’ve got to kid yourself, kid her, and then you both believe it.” And there’s Wini, a linguist who lives on an island, who lets McElwee stay with her for a while, but when he leaves for a couple months, she takes up with another man. An ex-girlfriend he visits who’s an anti-nuclear activist isn’t interested in him now. Another old girlfriend, a beautiful lawyer, ditches him right away for the same man she always ditches him for. And a singer he meets leaves town for the big time. The enduring portrait of McElwee that comes through in Sherman’s March is that of a self effacing man whose laconic sense of time, place, and these wacky people is loving and gentle.
