Forget about those silly low ratings. This is one of Joe Pesci's best movies.He sure can play a terrific hit man is all I got to say!The story from start till finish doesn't have any second with boredom in it.. every part and every minute is as interesting as the second coming!The whole Mexican vacation setting is very lovely, and the comedy in it (especially the two dorky roommates) was hilarious.It's hard to find a good comedy to laugh on these days, with all the rubbish being produced nowadays.This ladies and gentlemen is a comedy classic, and I can surely vouch for any comedy lover to watch it .. at least once!
A mob bagman (Joe Pesci) finds that his luggage, containing the proof of his latest hit, has been switched.This was a nice departure for David Spade, stepping away from "Saturday Night Live", though still staying within comedy. Not his best work, but also probably not his fault. As a whole, the movie never really takes off the way it should.The exception is an awesome dream sequence, perhaps one of the better dream sequences ever filmed. Sadly, this one minute is the very best -- the rest of the film does not live up to the great title. Overall, it is quite tame on the violence and gore for the subject matter. If the same story was done without it being comedy, who knows how great this might have been?
The rest of the IMDb reviewers have got it about right. This is a good film. Nothing special or brilliant, but it does what it sets out to do which is to make you laugh - and it does so much better than most films of its kind.I started watching this expecting to change channels quite quickly. I only gave it a chance at all because Joe Pesci was in it - which is never a bad asset for a film. What happened was I found myself smiling quite a lot, and then laughing quite a lot. Not uproariously or uncontrollably. But out loud, and more than once.Pesci is good - but so is just about everyone else. And the script is wickedly funny too. It's much less predictable than most of its kind, There are twists which are genuinely surprising and interesting, and the film stays pretty fresh (even though in truth it's probably 20 minutes too long).I'm quite a harsh marker, so a 6 from me is quite a compliment for a film like this. Well-written, nicely-paced, silly without being annoying, and containing some funny performances and a lot of good moments, you will like this one if you give it a chance.
When a friend of mine called me with this movie in his hands, at the local Blockbuster, I went crazy because that was a Joe Pesci movie I've never seen before! I actually bought it. I was sure to have great time. I had not!!!The basic idea is gold, I expected some kind of Weekend at Bernie's kind-of movie. It was an exciting premise. First Joe Pesci is more a guest-star than anything, that's too bad. The guy who plays the wanna-be doctor is really bad, just like the other mostly-unknown actors, at least watching the movie Italian-dubbed.It's like a full-lengh sit-com turned crap, with some nice moment thanks to Pesci and Spades, and the granny at the end! That was cool!What I say is: brilliant idea, horrible execution! Joe Pesci plays more of a though guy than I expected, that's wrong. He should have been an idiot-bad-guy like Home Alone's Harry! Not that!I hate this movie, so many thing went wrong. I can't even remember cause I just watched it twice. It was enough. I wasted 5 bucks!
