Also funny,Jack,if you will, is Jeff Daniels movie about some Yoopers in Deer Camp near Escanaba,mi. A yooper is an American resident of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. This is a place of very desolate pine forests exactly like Big Bend of Texas except at the very northern end of the country..very sparsely populated. Deserted.
A Fudge sucker is a tourist from Michigan's lower peninsula many of whom stop at the numerous fudge shops located along the highways of Michigan's Upper Peninsula. There are many distinct cultural differences between these Michigan residents especially so, as many of the Yoopers speak Canadian English.
Jeff Daniels plays the part of a very depressed and frustrated forty year old Yooper whom has never bagged a Buck during Deer Season and yet, is married to an Indian woman...The fellow actor that plays the semi- wild fellow with a speech impediment plays a very good part.
This is a film created, written, directed, and starred in, by Jeff Daniels.youtube.com/watch?v=980bvBzPiR8
