It's Hawaii 5-0 meets a blizzard and women's lib! I absolutely love Marge and Norm--their relationship is the excellent counterpoint to the Lundegaard family and a lot of American movies of the last 2 decades. America needs more films depicting couples such as the former.

It's one of the few dark comedy movies I really like in that it doesn't make a mockery of the the fact of what happens to its victims but goes to other angles for the laughs--mostly the reactions of the ones discovering the bodies, the occasionally high-strung "funny looking guy" criminal helping Jerry, the accents and the food. It's MHO that one who doesn't have an appetite before turning on this movie regain it within the first 45 minutes and especially after the scene of Marge in the restaurant.

What wasn't funny was Grimsrud--indeed I found him to be one of the scariest characters in recent movie history.

Who was absolutely adorable was police-person Marge, smart sweet and "connecting" all things together.
