Review of Escanaba in da Moonlight (2001) by Art K — 27 Dec 2009
"Escanaba in da Moonlight" isn't the best of comedies. I usually don't go for films that try to go for the cheap laugh but that night scene in the cabin when the character Rueben is out of it was pretty funny.
The plot is pretty interesting, I don't know if it's just for me because I'm from Northern Michigan and see people like this or that it was just genuinely a pretty good plot. I found the jokes to not really be there for the first two-thirds of the film and didn't seem to show up until the final 20 minutes or so.
This is a tough film for me to review. I'm sure that everyone who comes from the great state of Michigan would like to give it a good rating, but in the end you have to realise that it just wasn't that good of film and lacked that charm that it takes to make a good comedy.
