"Great" is in the eye of the beholder. I value this movie highly, it is one of my favorites and I re-watch it at least yearly. For me it is the juxtaposition of good, simple people (Marge and her family and friends plus Jerry's wife) and people who are basically rotten to the core (Jerry, the kidnappers, and to a lesser extent the FIL). They are on opposite poles of the spectrum of humanity. They would never interact were it not for the crimes. Then, when it is all over, good prevails over evil, something most audiences want to see.
In addition I like the quirky style, the exaggerated characters, especially Marge. It all adds to the viewing pleasure. I own the DVD, I re-watch about yearly. For me it never gets old.

I just finished watching it. It's my 3rd time. I agree with TxMike. A lot of people say the Coen Brothers make fun of Minnesotans but I think it should be noted that Marge does some really good police work and that final scene just shows how she can really separate her work from every day life. The quirkiness of the film makes it more realistic in my opinion.
