Jeff Daniels first movie that he directed "Escanaba in da Moonlight" is equally bad as his second film, "Super Sucker". Both movies lack a credible script, and essentially have the same weak timing and direction. This one starts out as a comedy, then about about a half hour in, suddenly morphs into spiritual possession, U.F.O.s, and other total nonsense. The non-existent script is padded with repetitive fart jokes, off key warbling, meaningless narration, and tiresome scenes that go on and on and on. If Jeff Daniels wanted to make a boring short about Upper Peninsula superstitions and native rituals, I wish he would have done so, instead of making a feature film that is a total waste of the viewers time. - MERK
