Amazon.co.uk Review
There can be few better ways reminding oneself of the key elements in late 1990s left-of-centre Hollywood than watching Feeling Minnesota. The film attempts to draw together most of the main themes from the post-Pulp Fiction world into one whole. The story--young lovers Freddie and Jjacks (sic) on the run from a criminal past--is pure True Romance, with an attempt to throw in a little Cohen brothers' style weirdness. It's not a bad film--how can any film that opens with a Johnny Cash tune not have some degree of style to it?--just one that misses that certain spark. The casting of Diaz and Reeves is hopelessly mismatched, the former's delightfully light touch during the film's many funny moments merely serving to heighten Reeves' clod hopping. He is slightly better when playing opposite brother and husband to Freddie Sam (Vincent D'Onofrio), but is unavoidably the film's weak link. It can't be denied that by pushing all the relevant buttons, Feeling Minnesota manages to provide a couple of hours of reasonably engrossing entertainment but, like the Bob Dylan version of "Ring of Fire" that closes the film, the originals are still the best.

On the DVD: The de rigeur credible rock soundtrack is given extra sparkle by the DVD's audio quality, but the extras available are slight. The "making-of" featurette offers little more than one of those infuriating extended adverts that are passed off as film documentaries, while the cast interview section is presented in a series of a few second answers to a succession of uninspiring questions. --Phil Udell

4.0 out of 5 stars Feeling Downbeat?, 11 Sep 2001
By A Customer
Keanu Reeves swaps his usual good-guy romantic-hero image for a more downbeat character. Instead of him pulling the girl, she pulls him! No special effects here and the film looks suitably downbeat to match Keanu, but is accompanied by a good soundtrack (Bob Dylan, Nancy Sinatra, the Righteous Brothers amongst others). The plot is different enough to keep you hooked.

4.0 out of 5 stars BROTHERLY LOVE IN... FEELING MINNESOTA, 2 May 2004
By julia (lymm, cheshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Feeling Minnesota [VHS] [1996] (VHS Tape)
Jjaks (Reeves) is a drifter who comes home for his horrible brother's (D'Onofrio) wedding, but ends up running away with his bride (Diaz), however, the groom is only one step behind and he is hungry for revenge...

This is a funny all-round-good-film and stars Keanu Reeves (the Matrix trilogy), Cameron Diaz (Charlies Angels,Kill Bill) and Vincent D'Onofrio who pull this plot off very well.

Very good film, diffinately worth seeing. ENJOY!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars quite amusing, 30 Sep 2005
By A Customer
This is a bit of a weird film, especially for non-Americans, since it contains a lot of details that are very, very American... In contrary to what is stated on the cover of the DVD, it is not Jjaks who runs away with the bride, but rather the other way round: She decides at the wedding feast that he's more attractive, takes him to bed and insults him until he does run away with her. They don't have any money, so they need to "find" some. They have no car, so Jjaks "organises" one. Then there's a direct confrontation between the two brothers which is good for a lot of laughs.
Only the end is a bit lame, but after all the film is classed as a romance, not as a thriller.
(BTW, I know what opinion some people have of Keanu Reeves' qualities as an actor, and I think I should mention that I really think he does a perfectly good show.)

1.0 out of 5 stars Boring and unfunny !
If you like the films The Holiday and Something About Mary then you won't like this film. It has no comedy element and the story line isn't great - I bought this film in a box... Read more
