International Falls

International Falls is a comedy/drama directed by Amber McGinnis. The film follows Dee (portrayed by Rachael Harris) who works at a hotel in the small town of International Falls, Minnesota. She dreams of being a comedian but doesn't follow the dream due to her obligations as a mother and wife. However, when Tim (portrayed by Rob Huebel) comes to the hotel for his comedy show, Dee comes head-to-head with her unhappy life/marriage and whether she should pursue her dreams.

The film is a decent low-budget comedy/drama. Dee and Tim are both likable characters despite being a bit boring. The story itself is a nice film about the struggles that a normal person faces - realizing the struggle between following your dreams and taking care of your responsibilities.

Where the film lacked was the overall story. While it was a nice film about normal everyday struggles, the film is a bit boring because it's just the life of Dee. Also, I did not think Dee or Tim were really funny. Maybe their comedy was just not my type of comedy but the film was more of a drama than a comedy to me.

With that being said, if you like the indie small-budget comedy's, this isn't a bad film. - 5/10.

Worst movie I've ever watched. Terrible acting and the Canadian accent wasn't even remotely close to the actual accent. Wouldn't recommend to anyone.

Indie movie it's. Just a encounter of a man and woman in International Falls both with their own family issues and they just click in sense of relieve each other's unhappiness. It's a story of that but just not too boring to watch.

Dee (Rachael Harris) is a bored wife and mother in International Falls, Minnesota. She dreams of being a stand-up comedian. She's a hotel desk clerk where Tim (Rob Huebel) is the new traveling comic doing shows in the hotel.

The start is a little awkward with her cheating. I also noticed that her accent switches from Fargo to sassy Rachael Harris throughout the movie. It's weird that some characters go fall Fargo while others are doing a lot less. Eventually, there is some good character work with Dee and her husband. The stand-up comedy is almost never funny and that causes problems of its own. The ending is one of those problems. I understand the writer falling in love with the gas station bit but her closing should be one joke and out. The joke could even bomb but she just has to get over the hump of finally finding her joy. That's her journey. It's not about the mistress or her marriage. It's not about anything other than a middle age woman finding her own joy for the first time.

Love the premise of this film. Props for the strong casting. It's just to slow and lacking in artful dialogue. I felt like they were ripping off "Fargo" including a lame reference in the dialogue. The central male character, who's a comic, is really bad at being a comic. But no comic is so bad that they don't have years of material to lean on. This comic has no act whatsoever. And that's why this film drags on. He's boring beyond the pale. The only saving grace is the last ten minutes. That segment makes the entire film worth it. What a recovery. Like watching a patient flatline and comes back from the dead.
