Movie Reviews of Escanaba in Da Moonlight
Movie Review: The Mystique of Northwoods Hunting
Summary: 5 Stars
Originally, a friend of mine from "out east" sent me a used copy of this to make fun of the annual hunting rituals in the Great Northwoods. Instead, what I see is a great example of the importance placed on hunting as a rite of manhood (or womanhood) up here. Where else do you drive 20 miles with a truckload of beer, food, beer, ammo, beer, blaze orange, beer, and camo to spend a week with your fellow unwashed to find that mythical "turrty-point buck". It's nice to have a good ending for the poor Buckless Yooper, too. To some, this was a crazy and seemingly unreal movie. To us in the Northwoods, it was more like an accounting of one season's events than a fiction from one man's mind. Makes me wish there could be a sequel...Movie Review: Escanaba in da Moonlight
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been to the UP before and it was great. I've also been to deer camp in Oregon and it's just as crazy there. Its great that someone finally made a flick about it. But there are alot of great stories that will never be told. This flick only scratches the surface of the humor in deer camp, where, Men can let loose for a short time and only dream about next year. I would rate it with 10+ stars if I could. It is a side splitting comedy from the start to the end. If you don't get it find someone to go to deer camp with. You'll never be the same afterwards. And for the woman from KS all I have to say to you is get a life and enjoy it. Maybe you should go to deer camp oh on second thought DON't you'll ruin it for all the men.Movie Review: Uupers--Handle supernatural forces with care.
Summary: 5 Stars
Aside from being a long time fan of Mr. Daniels, I'd rate
this movie quite high merely for original content and
wonderful flowing script executed by proffesional (mostly
stage) actors who have an uncanny knack for real life
humor (Ya know, the kind where you can't help but laugh
with the characters just because of simple gestures or
even a look)
While the movies' small budget makes it feel very homey,
it seems a story like this could easily be ruined if
over produced and too jazzed up. Any ways, this movie
shows what most people don't get to see on screen:
PEOPLE ACTING REAL. (aka PEOPLE REALLY ACTING)
'Nuff said.
Movie Review: A tall tale within a tall tale
Summary: 5 Stars
In order to really understand this movie one has to realize that it is a tale tale within a tall tale. The patriach of the Soady clan is telling a tall tale about how his son Rueben (The Buckless Yooper) finally bagged his first buck. Woven into his narrative are a series of other tall tales so things tend to get really strange. But if you know tall tales, especially those told by beer-swilling hunters at deer camp you'll understand this movie-- it's a laugh riot! The crude potty humor, the put downs, the superstitions, the annoyance with the ever-present DNR are all dead-on deer camp staples, although I suspect you have to be from the upper mid-west to truly understand what it's all about.Movie Review: I tink dis is da funniest movie I've seen, you betcha
Summary: 5 Stars
Yah hey, dis is a movie bout da real people who live up Nort, even past Lambeau Field. Day is called Yoopers cause day live in nordern Mitchagan in the Upper Pinesula (UP) but day is really Wisconsin cheeseheads in outlook. Da only tings dat matter in life up der is beer and deer huntin and da Packers an dis movie captures dat perfectly. Youse either going ta love da ting or hate it but if youse is from da upper midwest, youse going ta love it but if youse from NYC, or LA youse going ta wonder what it's all bout. I tink dis is da funniest movie I ever saw, you betcha, jeeze Louise, my ribs actually hurt da next day from laffin so mutch.
