A terrible ride with two idiotic characters.

No review available.
09/26/05
Film is so formulaic that virtually every plot point is telegraphed way in advance.

Top CriticNo review available.
04/14/04
This is a film that misses the boat right from the start through an improper mixture of fools.

Top CriticLike any Pesci outing post-Goodfellas, this can be described with one word; that word is 'hackneyed'.
03/26/03
I hope the person that greenlighted this was fired.

Top CriticAfter this and 8 Heads in a Duffel Bag, maybe the Academy will ask Pesci to return his Oscar.
01/01/00
Cut bait and avoid this trip.

01/01/00
Maybe the sequel will even make me laugh.

There's certainly nothing inherently clever about the premise.
