CHEESEHEADS (2015) ¢ ¢ 1/2
D: John Mitchell
A cheesehead returns to Wisconsin after 20 years to find out whether the place he remembers has changed, or whether he has. There's a lot of potential in this - Wisconsin's a place where regional eccentricity has evolved into a statewide cottage industry - but the movie ultimately plays it safe. It's exactly the sort of inoffensive, self-congratulatory promotional piece the Chamber of Commerce would love - a good-parts-only tour of a pastoral paradise where friendly people work hard and drink beer and eat cheese curds and root for the Packers. Which is okay, I suppose, if that's all you want to look at, or all you want people to see. You won't find any dirt on the sidewalk in a movie like this.
