DVD Synopsis
Allan Mindel's Milwaukee, Minnesota is about con men hoping to take advantage of a fishing champion. Albert (Troy Garity) is the best ice-fisherman in Wisconsin. He is not the sharpest tack in the box, making him susceptible to the less than ethical advances of nefarious Jerry (Randy Quaid), Stan (Hank Harris), and Tuey (Alison Folland), who all want in on his tournament winnings. Albert's life becomes even more difficult after his loving mother (Debra Monk) dies in an unexpected traffic incident. Milwaukee, Minnesota was screened at the 2003 Slamdance Film Festival. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
An interesting comedic drama that I've watched twice now. Shades of the Coen brothers' style - intentional, no doubt, especially judging from the cover, which is trying very hard to look like Fargo. There is no real comparison between the two, but there doesn't really need to be.
This movie has had several nominations and won several awards, none of which seem to be listed here. If you are looking for a decent drama, laced with some heart and some humor, this will fit the bill.
