Grade: 3 out of 5 (Good)

Rationale: Fargo is another example of a movie I didn’t love and didn’t hate. The only thing I particularly liked was the kidnap-gone-wrong plot and the only problem I had was the heavy northern accents got to be annoying by the end. This is only the second “comedy” I’ve seen by the Coen brothers and neither were that funny to me. I worry that may be the case for any subsequent comedic offerings of theirs I watch and can only hope I find them to be more humorous.
