Winter in Spring

April 15, 2023

No, that’s not the weather report—it’s the Traverse City premiere of Frozen Stupid2:Open Water, a family-friendly comedy filmed in Michigan by NoMi director Rich Brauer. This is the award-winning sequel to—you guessed it—Frozen Stupid and follows Tony Norgard’s (mis)adventures on Houghton Lake as he attempts to win a local fishing tournament to pay off the hefty fine of rescuing his submerged vehicle from the lake. You’ll find some familiar-to-Michigan-cinema faces with actors like Joey Albright and Sam Idleman (Escanaba in da Moonlight and the first Frozen Stupid) plus Kimberly Guerrero, known for roles in Hidalgo, Barn Red, and Seinfeld. The movie was filmed prior to the pandemic, so the screening at the State Theatre on Wednesday, April 19, at 7pm has been a long time coming.
