Feeling Minnesota

DIRECTED BY: Steven Baigleman

REVIEWED: 09-26-96

Have you ever been mellow? Have you ever felt Minnesota? Does "feeling Minnesota" mean we're all supposed to feel like Keanu Reeves? What's wrong with Keanu Reeves? Could he be more stiff? Is he really the anamatronic Abe Lincoln model from Disneyland, with an early-'90s grunge makeover? Is it time for early-'90s nostalgia already? Why does Cameron Diaz talk like a 12-year-old girl in this movie? Why on earth does she want to be a showgirl? Why do those two brothers who both love the cloyingly girlish Cameron Diaz like to yell and yell and yell at each other? Does this yelling have something to do with "feeling Minnesota?" Why is this billed as a comedy? Do they really think we are going to somehow believe that this is another version of Fargo? Is feeling ripped off, bored and disappointed the same as "feeling Minnesota?" Why are they doing this to us? What have we done to deserve this?
