Every Mexican in the film is portrayed as crooked, stupid or servile. Hilarious!

Pesci's breathless psycho routine can be wearing, but the script offers the odd sparkling lines.

The story doesn't hang together -- it lacks comic invention and is marred by Comeau's uncharismatic acting.

Joe Pesci plays the mild-manner sadist on his trail, and judging by the credits, seems to have assembled his little on-set gang of mafiosi... Audiences will feel a lot less pampered.

It's about as funny as being a guest at the St. Valentine's Day Massacre.

David Spade is the best part in this otherwise unfunny comedy flick.

Extremely sick movie. Perfect for Joe Pesci who is a sick person and a terrible actor. Do not watch.
