Funny, Quirky Adventure about Personal Triumph and Family Ties
I LOVED this movie in all its quirkiness. I grew up in lower Michigan and spent lots of time in the U.P. They did a wonderful job at representing its unique culture. The personal Triumph for Rueben was heartwarming. I was cheering for this extremely likeable underdog.
weird
Escanaba in da Moonlight is a very weird movie. But then, the UP is pretty weird in itself. I think the closer you live to the bridge, the more you'll get this movie. Being from Northern Michigan, I found myself nodding amusedly with each mention of the pasty, fudgesuckers, the ever-present DNR ("stand by your vehicle, sir!") and the strange venacular. This is a funny movie, especially if you're from Michigan. The acting is the best part. The cast caught the attitude and mannerisms of residents in the UP (I know a couple of guys who are exactly like Remnar) perfectly.

>I response to one reviewer's comments that the Native American ritual performed so elegantly (sarcasm, folks) by Daniels was in some way offensive. Perhaps, but I don't think it was intended to mock the Objibwe rituals. The Native American population is a strong force in the communities, at least on this particular peninsula and it, let's not forget that it was through these beliefs that Reuban finally bags his buck. Jimmy Negamanee from Menominee cracked me up and while the farting scene was crude, it was funny. Everybody needs a little toilet humor every once in awhile and deer camp is the best possible place for it.

>This is in no way an outstanding film masterpiece. It's a kind of inside joke to those of us who live in Michigan, particularly the UP and maybe even us "trolls" who live under the bridge. It's funny enough and clever, well acted, if a little quriky and weird. Rent it before you buy. UP humor is certainly an aquired taste.
