    She met the man of her dreams. Then her husband showed up and ruined everything. Brotherly love takes a beating in this wickedly funny romance starring Keanu Reeves (The Matrix) Vincent D'Onofrio (Men in Black) and Cameron Diaz (There's Something About Mary). Jjaks (Reeves) is a drifter who has come home for his brother's wedding. But when he steals the bride (Diaz) the bonds of brotherhood are cut forever. Now the groom (D'Onofrio) is gunning for revenge and the runaway couple is in for a hell of a honeymoon. With music by Spearhead the Replacements Bob Dylan Nancy Sinatra and more Feeling Minnesota is one of the hippest movies of the year. Watch for the all-star supporting cast including Courtney Love Delroy Lindo and Dan Aykroyd!

    There can be few better ways reminding oneself of the key elements in late 1990s left-of-centre Hollywood than watching Feeling Minnesota. The film attempts to draw together most of the main themes from the post-Pulp Fiction world into one whole. The story--young lovers Freddie and Jjacks (sic) on the run from a criminal past--is pure True Romance, with an attempt to throw in a little Cohen brothers' style weirdness. It's not a bad film--how can any film that opens with a Johnny Cash tune not have some degree of style to it?--just one that misses that certain spark. The casting of Diaz and Reeves is hopelessly mismatched, the former's delightfully light touch during the film's many funny moments merely serving to heighten Reeves' clod hopping. He is slightly better when playing opposite brother and husband to Freddie Sam (Vincent D'Onofrio), but is unavoidably the film's weak link. It can't be denied that by pushing all the relevant buttons, Feeling Minnesota manages to provide a couple of hours of reasonably engrossing entertainment but, like the Bob Dylan version of "Ring of Fire" that closes the film, the originals are still the best. On the DVD: The de rigeur credible rock soundtrack is given extra sparkle by the DVD's audio quality, but the extras available are slight. The "making-of" featurette offers little more than one of those infuriating extended adverts that are passed off as film documentaries, while the cast interview section is presented in a series of a few second answers to a succession of uninspiring questions. --Phil Udell
