In Fargo, filmmaking brothers Joel and Ethan Coen both embrace and satirize their North Dakota roots. A patrolman and two innocent bystanders are discovered murdered in cold blood on a snowy North Dakota highway, leading very pregnant policewoman Marge Gunderson (Frances McDormand) on an investigation that uncovers a conspiracy of greed and ineptitude. Minneapolis husband, farther and car salesman Jerry Lundegaard (William H. Macy), who has long chafed under the thumb of his wealthy boss and father-in-law, concocts an elaborate scheme involving the kidnapping of his wife and a million-dollar ransom to pay off his extensive gambling debts. However, everything that could possibly go wrong indeed DOES go wrong. Officer Gunderson's outwardly homespun and folksy persona conceals a penetrating mind and a fierce moral compass, and she easily sees through the poorly executed and badly hidden events perpetrated by the bumbling, yet highly dangerous kidnappers...

Yes, it is a bit embarrassing for Google when they can't even spell the wurds in a synopsis properly. Oops, that should have been "words". Lucky for spell checker. Makes you wonder why they employee people that can't spell and people that can't be bothered correcting a spelling error when it is highlighted.

This film was good and unique. I appreciated the acting, story, and characters. To be honest, the film's hype kind of killed the experience for me. However, I would watch it again and recommend it to anyone who has not seen it.

I have no opinion of the movie, but find it absolutely pathetic that no one at Google bothered to find and correct the typo in the synopsis. I drives me crazy that people cannot be bothered to read what they type before hitting enter (or submit).
