American way to laugh

Rating: 7/10 (14 January 2004)

I don't understand why Fargo is considered a so good movie. It's good, surely, but I think it's weaker than any other Coen's movie. Films like "The Hudsucker Proxy" or "O Brother Where Art Thou" are spectacular - and they tell very good and funny stories about American way to be... just like Fargo intended to do. I don't know what is so funny hearing Frances McDormand saying "ya" all the movie. Perhaps the Coens wanted to tell jokes only American could understand.
