have live in michigan upper peninsula ( 30 mile from escanaba ) in the mid 1990s and i be eager to see this film . it begin promisingly enough and with some superficial understanding of the value and quirk of u. p. life . but jeff daniel apparently be not content with a low key approach that would have be fit give the place and the people . instead and he introduce extremely crude humor and some wildly inappropriate mystical or supernatural element . although there be a good movie to be make about this practically unknown region of the u. s. and this be not it .
