| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Escanaba In Da Moonlight |
|---|
Escanaba in Da Moonlight is a story about a YOOPER (from the Upper Peninsula) of Michigan, who is threatened to become the laughing stock of his family if he doesn't bag a buck by his 43rd b-day.
Jeff Daniels plays the troubled Hunter, while Harve Presnell is his YOOPER dad, complete with the accent. If you know anything about the U.P. Or deer hunting watch it, otherwise you may not get this wacky comedy.
--Greg Howell, Resident Scholar
