Well.... ok. If I were to describe Fargo in one sentence, I would say it is like some weird combination of Maria Bamford stand-up, and the bloodiest scenes from Reservoir Dogs by Quentin Tarantino. I'M NOT KIDDING YOU GUYS. This movie vacillates between the quaint and funny lives of Minnesota's finest, and some horrible, horrible non-Minnesotan people.
Ok, so picture this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFHmNrxkuFU

(Warning: The Reservoir Dogs clip is violent and profane.)
The Coen brothers are clever, and I really do Adore them, but this movie is defiantly not making it to my recommendation list. It was permanently banished from THAT list when one character pushed another character through a wood chipper. A WOOD CHIPPER YOU GUYS.
