Great movie! Brings back memories

Rating: 10/10 (16 December 2008)

I grew up in Wisconsin, and boy, do I remember those winters. Nothing but endless white as far as the eye can see. And they consider zero as pleasant weather, and as they say in the movie, "looks like it might "turn cold" tomorrow!" Like it's not already below zero!! I truly believe that they filmed this movie in the upper Mid-West. My favorite line is when Chief Gunderson has the murderer in the back of her patrol car, and she tries to talk to him. She says, "there's more to life than a little money, you know. Don't you know that?" Then goes on to say, "and look at this... it's a beautiful day!" Only a Midwesterner could look out a window, see nothing but white snow and fog for miles around with virtually no visibility and say, "it's a beautiful day!" This is one of the reasons I moved to Nevada.
I'll take the desert over those winters I suffered for 30 years anytime!!! But it still makes me a bit nostalgic for home, though. This was a great movie, a "can't miss movie" and everyone should see it. Though, the accents were a little dramatic. Nobody talks with THAT bad an accent in the Midwest, but it sure was funny! And I recommend this film to anyone who hasn't seen it yet. Go see it, you'll thoroughly enjoy it!!
