Rueben Soady: Alright, sa
[gets interrupted]
Albert Soady: A man who can't look another man in the hairy eyeball and tell him he's heavy on the sap ain't much of a man.

Cool as ****, 6 September 2003
Author: Wienerbroed from Denmark

I've never hunted, never been to deer camp, never been to da UP and only been to the US once (Michigan, visiting in Detroit.) However, seeing this movie set me off to laugh extremely hard for days on end. Now our toilet is named the one-holer, and "my Chevy took a s***" still sends me laughing. Jimmer RULES! "this whiskey tastes like syrup" :D

I'm living proof that one doesn't have to be from MI to love this movie. It will definitely be in my video collection soon !!!
