"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

1 out of 5 stars If You Liked This Movie, You're Freaking Nuts.......2007-05-01

I love Jeff Daniels, but this was the most God-awful movie I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of them. We rented this movie one night thinking it was about hunting and maybe a little funny. We were dead wrong. This was the stupidest and most un-funny movie ever made, and...I'm sorry, I just can't do it justice. Sometimes when you watch a stupid movie, you can think about it later and laugh. Not with this one. I think about it and shudder. I'm a southern boy who likes the woods and likes to hunt and fish, so don't tell me I just didn't get it. There was nothing to get. What REALLY made me want to puke was when I got on here and read the reviews. PEOPLE ACTUALLY LIKED IT!!!! I'm sorry but the world is coming to a close folks, if anybody on God's green earth enjoyed that movie. Now I feel better since I got all that out of me. It's been building up and eating away at me for three weeks now. Ya'll have a nice day!

4 out of 5 stars I Peed!.......2007-01-28

I am a female...I have never been to the UP...I have a college education...I have never been to a deer camp or deer hunting. I laughed so hard, I cried. If you like quirky and sorta crude, i.e., "Men With Brooms", "The Red Green Show", or "Best In Show", you should really enjoy this!!

My step daughter requested this movie for Christmas. She thinks its the funniest movie ever.

4 out of 5 stars A bit weird, but good!.......2007-01-09

This movie is very funny, but it also has a serious side. It's not for everyone, some people don't appreciate the humor in it. I, however, laughed so hard that I cried!!!
