DVD Reviews of Escanaba in da Moonlight

DVD Review: Escanaba in da moonlight
Summary: 2 Stars

Started out good but then got weird and hard to understand. You definitly have to speak northern to understand what these guys are saying the acciencts are hardcore. I got this thinking it was going to be a funny movie but to us it wasnt so funny as much as confusing.

DVD Review: Escanaba in da Moonlight
Summary: 4 Stars

If you are from the northlands of Michigan, Wisconsin, or Minnesota, this film will hit home with you. You have seen hunters like this in your town and might even be one of them. Sure to bring smiles to your face and laughter in your soul, Escanaba in da Moonlight brings back childhood memories of those long ago times in the Upper Penninsula.

DVD Review: Best movie ever!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This is the best movie ever!! Jeff Daniels is awesome!! "One potato, two potato, three potato, four."

DVD Review: Rituals run deep...
Summary: 5 Stars

If your not from Michigan and not a deer hunter, then understanding or even less, enjoying the movie, might prove difficult. My wife and I were out one Saturday and I suggested we see it but we went to a see it at a theatre that was in a prudish upscale community. Tears were flowing from my eyes and my stomach ached for hours from laughing so hard. The stuck-ups wondered what was so funny but it would be hard to explain that virtually everything in the movie happens in deer camp. From euchre to drinkin', farting to the two holer. And even the feared-by-God conservation officer is a way of life in the woods. Anyone reading this review needs to understand that opening day of gun season is like a national holiday. Communities in the da U.P. close school if it falls during the week. Yes, it's that important. I would suggest that you find someone to go hunting with for a few years then watch it again- It will all make sense then.

DVD Review: Escanaba: More a Guy Movie
Summary: 5 Stars

This is a non-conventional movie version of a theatrical script. The casting is great given the storyline. It is about Soady Deer Camp and a Soady (Jeff Daniels) who is about to turn 43 yrs old and is a Buck Virgin. The movie depicts real events and Upper Peninsula accents alongwith a closely knit family and friend who are enjoying their time at a Deer Camp. Highly recommended, may appear to be a slow movie overall but funny nonetheless in its own way. Eh!

Description of Escanaba in da Moonlight

Its the day before the 1989 hunting season opens. For generations the men of the soady family have trekked to the same ramshackle deer camp north of escanaba in michigans upper peninsula to drink cause a little bit of trouble and bag bucks. Studio: Monarch Video Assoc. Release Date: 08/30/2005 Starring: Jeff Daniels Kimberly Norris Guerrero Run time: 92 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Jeff Daniels

"It's like Christmas with guns," is how one happy member of the Soady family describes the opening day of hunting season. Rueben Soady (Jeff Daniels) is on the verge of becoming the oldest member of the entire line of Soady men to have never shot a buck. To change his luck, Rueben tries to convince his father and brother to change some of the time-honored rituals of their annual hunting pilgrimage, but this seems to set off a series of uncanny incidents involving UFOs, cards, backwoods whiskey, flatulence, and possession by native spirits. Escanaba in da Moonlight is a comic homage to hunting in upstate Michigan, written and directed by star Daniels. It's not for everyone--vegetarians, among others, will find its blithe celebration of deer hunting repugnant--but venison eaters may find Escanaba's offbeat Midwest humor entertaining. --Bret Fetzer
