Hi Hon. How was Fargo?

Rating: Null/10 (14 October 2004)

I love this film. Sometimes I watch a movie over and over just for the acting. This is one of those movies. The casting was right on. The characters are so boring and stupid, I feel sorry for them. William H. Macy is great as a defeated, desperate car salesman who needs cash fast. He hires these two bungling idiots to kidnap his wife for ransom. His wealthy father-in-law is supposed to put up the ransom money. He has an inflated ego and says "Dammit. I want to be a part of this". He wants to personally deliver the ransom money in hopes of not actually having to part with it. Jerry keeps uttering the same question. "What the heck do you mean" and you realize he doesn't have a clue. Buscemi wants money, conversation and sex. (he is kinda funny looking and uncircumsized) Stormari wants pancake house, his smokes and the car. Margie, Frances McDormand, wants her husbands artwork to be on a stamp, to have her baby and to solve a crime. She eats her way through the entire movie. Oh yes, there is the snow. The blinding white snow, everywhere you look, more snow. Frances McDormand deserved her Oscar.I wish more films could be as entertaining as this one. Give us more, Coen brothers!
