Rueben Soady is saddled with the misfortune of being the perennial bridesmaid in his family when it comes to bagging a buck. But in this knee-slapping comedy, he's going to make a few changes in his family's time-honored hunting camp routine to try to change his luck and come home with a trophy. You'll cackle, chuckle and roar as Soady (portrayed by Jeff Daniels) shakes up the routine at the family hunting camp north of Escanaba in Michigan's Upper Peninsula on the eve of the opening day of the 1989 deer season. Do his fortunes change? "Escanaba in Da Moonlight" will keep you entertained for 92 minutes in this PG-13-rated video. This movie was written and directed by Daniels, who also starred in such films as "Terms of Endearment," "Gettsyburg," "I Witness" and "Dumb and Dumber."

Jeff Daniels "Escanaba in Da Moonlight" DVD,January 6, 2009
By TLC4240from Woodstock, GA
"The movie was horrible. I would return it if I could. I have 3 hunters in my household, ages 16, 20 & 48, and all of them enjoy a good laugh. They could not even sit through the entire movie."

Let the memories roll,September 23, 2008
By ruffieslayerfrom Tooele UT
"This movie is a family staple when hunting season comes around. We watch it every year at least 3-4 more times and almost have it memorized down pat. Almost as good as The Holy Grail, where all we have to do is say a snippet from the movie and we will all start rolling while other family members look at us with confused expressions. This film, if it does nothing else, brings back the feeling of being together with family during the deer hunt at deer camp. Come on, who hasn't said or thought that the opening day of deer season is like christmas with guns. This movie is fantastic and I'm not from the UP, I'm from Utah and had to look up on the internet the items they were talking about to understand. So get the dvd and pop it in, make a fire and get the pasties. This movie will gut you a buck!"

Not your usual hunting story!,November 28, 2006
By baileysbuddy
"Very strange characters, I bought it after I had been to the UP of Michigan, and this was filmed in Escanaba MI. I didn't like it at first, but the characters are unique. You gotta love the "Jimmer" It's a good movie to watch the eve of deer season."
