Watch Feeling Minnesota For Free

the audience applauded

Lack of good storyline.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Feeling Minnesota (1996): Dir: Steve Baigelman / Cast: Keanu Reeves, Vincent D'Onofrio, Cameron Diaz, Delroy Lindo, Dan Aykroyd: Bizarre and twisted tale about places that hail dreaded memories and pain. Two brothers compete in paper, rock, scissors in 1976, which introduces what will become a life long feud. The plot is a series of misfortunes within one family. Keanu Reeves and Vincent D'Onofrio play two feuding brothers. Cameron Diaz is sold as a wedding gift to D'Onofrio by his boss, played by Delroy Lindo, as punishment. To see why being married to Diaz would be deemed a punishment, will be revealed, but he owes money to Lindo nonetheless. Reeves is shunned for not bringing a wedding gift so he robs a gas station and buys a gift with the stolen money. Diaz seduces Reeves into stealing money from his brother and for the price of a chewed ear he succeeds. Intriguing plot but its outcome isn't very pretty. Director Steve Baigelman uses style to highlight. Reeves and D'Onofrio are in top form as the dueling brothers that put each other through decades of torment. Diaz plays a true bimbo who manipulates and survives a bullet wound. Lindo is effective as he enacts his rage on D'Onofrio. Dan Aykroyd plays a corrupt detective who also weighs in on the pursuit of Reeves. It isn't pleasant but it does regards the chaos that haunts one family. Score: 8 / 10

When I first saw this movie when it came out I thought it was a good movie. But watching it now, not as much but just decent at best. But than again I thought Cameron Diaz was overly hot back than. This movie is basically about two brothers quarreling with one another and fighting each other in a very malicious manner. One more malicious than the other and they are both in love with a superficial and selfish girl. And none of the characters are likable and run on greed and their own selfish ambitions while constantly trying to use each other. But than again that somewhat applies to the real world. Watching this movie was like watching "Dumb & Dumber" except the characters aren't as dumb nor as funny. It has this certain black humor going for it and it works sometimes and has a slight bit of the Coen brothers vibe going for it. But the humor isn't all that well grafted and is nowhere near as good as the Coen brothers films. Keanu Reeves who plays the slight good brother between the two brothers is right for this role and although his acting needed some work. He did a good job of playing this dumb character that is oblivious to his surroundings. His character Jjaks is basically a dumb robber that gets into a hole when he bangs his brothers wife who got forced into the marriage by thugs and so on. This movie is basically about dumb selfish people doing dumb and selfish stuff. It's still a entertaining movie to a degree but nothing special.6.5/10

This is a great little dark/Comedy/Romance film, that's quite entertaining and funny, with a good story and excellent performances!. All the characters are great, and it has some very good dramatic moments as well ( a lot of them actually), plus Keanu Reeves and Cameron Diaz are simply amazing in this!. OK yes the finale was a bit predictable, however that didn't ruin it for me at all, and I thought Reeves and Diaz had excellent chemistry together, plus it has a few very good plot twists as well, even if I did see one of them coming and that was the big one!. It's pretty well made and written, and I thought Vincent D'Onofrio was brilliant in his role, as the brother of Jjaks, plus I really liked the ending as well. The opening was pretty cool, as it showed the two Jackson brothers growing up as kids, and I was lucky enough to buy this for 1$ at a VHS Blowout sale at my video store, plus Delroy Lindo is quite intense in his role. This is a very underrated film in my opinion, as it should be a lot higher then 5.2, plus it's also very clever at times too. This is a great little dark/Comedy romance film, that's quite entertaining and funny, with a good story and excellent performances, I highly recommend this one!. The Direction is great!. Steven Baigelman does a great! Job here with good camera work, solid angles and keeping the film at a fast pace. The Acting is really excellent!. Keanu Reeves is amazing as always and is amazing here, he is extremely likable, had excellent chemistry with Diaz, had some powerful scenes with D'Onofrio, had plenty of charisma as always, and I consider this to be one of his best performances! (Reeves Rules!!!!!!!!). Cameron Diaz is incredibly gorgeous and is amazing here, she is very likable, had an unpredictable character, was vulnerable, had excellent chemistry with Reeves, and I felt sorry for her in a lot of scenes(Diaz Rules!!!!!!!). Vincent D'Onofrio is brilliant here as the brother of Reeves, he really was a sorry excuse for a human being, but he played it so brilliantly that I couldn't help but like him, he is one of the main reasons I enjoyed this film so much. Delroy Lindo is intense here as usual, he had a small but very effective role here, I love this guy!. Dan Aykroyd is great here as the dirty cop, I really liked him. Courtney Love has a worthless role as a waitress she was OK I guess. Tuesday Weld is OK as the Mother but was wasted. Rest of the cast are fine. Overall I highly recommend this one!. ***1/2 out of 5

At first, I thought the script itself was mean-spirited and seemingly pointless. However, the movie in its entirety is very effective as a window into the lives of these rotten characters. The actors are the integral component in this movie; each and every one of them is so totally believable that I am still disgusted when I think of the film. I can't think of a single other movie that makes me appreciate it for the ability to draw me in in such a negative manner. I can't see this kind of film being done again, however. I think modern movie audiences come for the spectacle. With this movie, however, they are confronted with the same mediocre, selfish people that probably live in their respective neighborhoods.
