Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
The tension between the slimefest milieu and the charm of the performances is maybe what makes Feeling Minnesota work.
Read Full Review >ReelViews James Berardinelli
If you're tired of routine, "feel good", Hollywood fare and are looking for something a little Tarantino-ish and a lot unusual, Feeling Minnesota will leave you feeling pleasantly surprised.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Elvis Mitchell
No film winds up with a name like Feeling Minnesota if it has anything definite in mind.
Read Full Review >The Onion (A.V. Club) Keith Phipps
Marginally watchable-in part because of the odd presence of Dan Aykroyd and Courtney Love-it's ultimately pointless, repetitive and more concerned with appearing offbeat than actually doing anything inventive.
Read Full Review >Empire Adam Smith
A director who can't decide whether he's aiming for high comedy or gritty noirishness combine to shoot the whole caboodle squarely in the foot.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times John Anderson
The go-for-broke plot twists are daring, but because there's no sense of background to the characters, one gets the sense it's all being made up as Baigelman goes along.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Staff (Not credited)
A meandering mess of violence and aging stars who've seen much better days, all buoyed up by an in-your-face soundtrack that never lets up.
Read Full Review >Variety Emanuel Levy
Meant to be an offbeat, darkly comic tale of a triangle of losers desperately clinging to their versions of the American dream, pic comes across as a charmless high-concept indie.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Examiner Barbara Shulgasser
Unfortunately, it stars Keanu Reeves and Cameron Diaz, so it has, more than anything else, a sense of ridiculousness.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Marc Savlov
Indeed, the biggest acting coup here comes by way of Courtney Love, whose cameo as an obliging waitress is the best thing the film has going for it.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Edward Guthmann
A white-trash burlesque that springs from the notion that people chasing each other in cars and doing stupid things in motels are inherently funny.
Read Full Review >Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman
Feeling Minnesota suggests Sam Shepard trying to be Quentin Tarantino. It makes even gun battles seem pretentious.
Read Full Review >Rolling Stone Peter Travers
If you see one Minnesota movie this year, make it "Fargo." This botch job should be stamped direct to video.

Matt L. gave it a10:
This is one of my favorite movies of all time, it may have a bad rating but that is only because this is for a certain kind of people, more of a cult movie.
