Margarine Wars

About This Movie

Margarine Wars is this quirky little comedy that captures the chaos of the sixties counterculture with a really oddball premise. You've got this New York hippie who gets the son of a Swedish dairy farmer tangled up in a wild scheme to smuggle margarine into the dairy-rich territory of Wisconsin. The pacing's a bit erratic, which actually fits the whole psychedelic vibe they were going for. The practical effects are pretty charming, giving it that retro feel. Performances are on the eccentric side but have this endearing quality, especially the way the characters clash. It's not your typical narrative, which is what makes it stand out. Definitely a film that captures a unique slice of its era’s spirit.
