How bizarre is this? A film about the
town where I was born and raised?! Why in the world would anyone want to make a
film about International Falls?!
Scenes of Smokey the Bear, the paper mill
on the Fort Frances (i.e. Canadian) side of Rainy River (there was a falls
once, hence the name), the drive on the ice road on Rainy Lake (the island they
stopped at even looked like Snow Island which we could see from our living room
window), Main Street, and all that, my question remains. Why Int’l Falls? It
could have been filmed anywhere. It’s kind of boring, and depressing.
But then so is International Falls. Which
is why I left, as soon as I could, at the age of 16. Sorry, everyone who still
lives there and likes it.
Unlike Int’l Fall, however, the film gets kind of interesting towards the end (not including the embarassingly lame jokes at the very end), and Harris is very good in her role, especially because she’s not wearing make-up.
