My partner and I used to live and work in the area in Minnesota where they filmed it (some years after it came out of course). That movie captures the upper Midwest like no other before or since, and its accuracy about the culture there makes it so much funnier.
Modern audiences would raise an eyebrow at a few of the lines (and one of the characters) these days, but honestly people are STILL like that.
Plus the CAST. Allison Janney alone is worth regular re-watches. In fact, I love this movie so much… I work here now!
