The Godfather of Green Bay (2005)
Like-ability may be limited to location of the plot.
The Godfather Of Green Bay premiered this weekend (March 24, 2006) in Wisconsin. I wouldn't say its a stinker, but it certainly isn't a knee-slapper either. It has its moments, but I think on the over-all, its a movie that will appeal more to people like myself -- life long Green Bay Packer fan and resident of Wisconsin (I hail from Oshkosh, B'Gosh!). The portrayal of the Packer fans is dead on as is the rivalry between the Packers and the Chicago Bears. The scenery shots are beautiful -- fall season in the Marinette Wisconsin area. Like Escanaba In 'Da Moonlight, I think The Godfather of Green Bay is one of those films that will be more of hit with the people from the locale its set in and won't be noticed much by people across the country. But if nothing else, maybe it will be successful in bringing back the Macarana. I wouldn't say don't see The Godfather of Green Bay. Its no Fargo, but I would put it on my "movies to see list" -- maybe just a little more towards the bottom of the list.
