Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
Jerry Lundegaard's inept crime falls apart due to his and his henchmen's bungling and the persistent police work of the quite pregnant Marge Gunderson.
"A hilarious comedy full of black humour and human inefficiency, with grotesque murders and stupid detectives. The script is smart and dynamic, but William H. Macy's and s McDormand's (who won the Oscar for Best Actress) performances steal the show."
