An OKay movie.

Rating: 10/10 (11 March 1999)

Good, but not as good as Siskel & Ebert thought (they both picked it as favorite film of '96). A sleazy car salesman wants his wife kidnapped so he can extort ransom from her father, but plans go awry. Frances McDormand steals the show as a pregnant Brainerd police chief. Too many Ookaays in this film. Just a bit too heavy on the northwoods stereotype. Still, it's one of those films that passes the test of time: I find I can watch this movie again and again and never tire of it.
