Joe Keegan is the 'Rocky' of stand-up comedy. A fifteen-year comedy veteran who was pegged for stardom early on in his career but has blown every major audition he has ever had in legendary fashion. Fresh off a recent fiasco with a heckler that included a broken nose, Joe's friend Kenny tells him he can get them an audition for 'The Tonight Show' and that it's 'a can't miss.' The one catch is that it's at a roadside bar in tiny Pine Lake, Wisconsin, hometown of Tonight Show Talent scout, Harvey Skorik who never misses 'Rocktoberfest.' Having doubts but needing a break from L.A., Joe reluctantly agrees to go. Arriving in Wisconsin, Joe bombs his first night on stage when local emcee Dug sabotages him. Joe cannot get a break until he encounters his former high school English teacher, the beautiful Molly Mahoney who is also at a crossroads in her life, coming off a failed marriage. Molly is excited for Joe's 'Tonight Show' opportunity. Joe tells her he just wants to prove to himself that he hasn't been wasting the last fifteen years of his life. Molly makes him realize just the opposite - that he has been living his dream. Things finally start looking up for Joe Keegan until he finds that the biggest audition of his life will be in front of his toughest crowd yet; Packer fans, Deer Hunters and The Godfather of Green Bay, Big Jake Norquist, a former high school football star turned drug dealer who is also in love with Molly.
Leave your thoughts about The Godfather of Green Bay.
| User ReviewGiridhar Shyam Sif you are from wisconsin this might hit a little too close to home. If you are from any other state and have spent and extended amount of time in WI you will understand and love this movie! |
| User ReviewPrivate Uthis movie is not good. but it does some brilliant things with the macarena. |
| User ReviewJustin GA sweetly retarded cast of extras makes this one an indie must see |
| User ReviewJamie SExcept for Sean Boyce. He was easily worth five stars!! |
| User ReviewJeff SNot all guys walk around with mullets in gbz. And we aren't obsessed with the macarena! But pretty funny!!! |
| User ReviewKen DThis wasn't as bad as I thought this was going to be. Decent casting with especially with Thomas Lennon from Reno 911. There were a couple times whent he jokes fell flat, but when the jokes were on, they were good. Sometimes the story was alittle choppy and it did seem like a little too much to tie up the payoff. The payoff of the movie was too quick and it took away from the movie. Decent little movie though. |
| User ReviewPete SThis wasn't as bad as I thought this was going to be. |
| User ReviewJamison RThis wasn't as bad as I thought this was going to be. |
| User ReviewMatthew AGreatest mafia film of all time!! So many good things to about this film - most importantly the brilliant cast, truly the greatest collection of talented actors in one film; great soundtrack and fabulous scenery! Love it :) |
| User ReviewThomas BAs a resident of Green Bay, this was a disgrace of what the people in Green Bay are like. I mean the guy taped most of it in the U.P., we are not uppers. People from Green Bay don't think their the shit when the go to little towns in WI, people from the little towns think we're the shit. Way to study the facts. Go back to chicago and cheer on your bears Pete. |
