Steven Baigelman wrote and directed this uncertain comedy-drama concerning estranged brothers (Keanu Reeves and Vincent D'Onofrio) battling over embezzled cash as well as the affections of a pretty blonde (Cameron Diaz). The gritty ambiance inherent in Walt Lloyd's incredibly vivid cinematography is the most memorable aspect of the picture; capturing a blue-collar realism with such clarity, however, tends to emphasize the unreality of these dunderhead characters, and the movie's look and its story fail to cohere. Baigelman does get things off to a promising start, and he has an attentive eye for what to capture, but these petty people merit little interest. Danny DeVito was one of the many producers (all, presumably, with their own idea of how to film Baigelman's unremarkable script). *1/2 from ****

Feeling Minnesota is one of the worst films I have ever seen, it is also one of the most disgusting films ever made. It has to do with a woman who is forced to marry a disgusting mob man. At the wedding she meets his brother Jjaks. They have sex in the house after they eat the cake than decide to run away together. The other brother of course comes after him guns blazing and he kills his wife. Jjaks wakes up to find her corpse in the bathtub and buries her. He than seems to become friends with Jjaks and they try to get money together because someone is blackmailing them because he saw them and the body. This loops about and several characters dies or come back to life, but it never comes together with anything that could be called a good plot. The performances are horrible by pretty much everybody. Cameron Diaz, Keanu Reeves, and Dan Akroyed. The direction, dialogue, and visual effects are just horrible. A disgusting and horrible movie.

I caught this movie late one night while flipping through the channels. I mainly stopped on it because it had Keanu Reeves, and I had never seen it before. I was shocked when I realized Cameron Diaz was in it too! I was hooked instantly. What seemed like a really strange movie at first, turned out to be one of my new favorite movies. It was like nothing I had ever seen before - and I loved it! Before it was even over, I knew I wanted to own it! I would recommend this movie to anyone who likes to mix things up a bit, or is just tired of the same old movie plots - and especially anyone who would love to see Keanu and Cameron together! I give it ***** (5 stars)!!!

the movie is a surprising acting performance from Keanu and Cameron, refreshing to see Keanu play something else besides some moron-like action figure. and Cameron for once not in the "blone bimbo" roles she seems to frequent. strange thing is that this movie is not that well known , i guess this is because both did not really had their "break trough" yet at the time. and Courtney Love as the waitress only makes this movie complete :) and well on his way to cult status. also Dan Akroyd with an over the top try at a local accent is well worth your time. all in all a movie with an impressive cast, specially for such a "low profile" movie.
