Yves Simoneau and scriptwriters Joseph Brutsman and Tony Peck are aiming for a Fargo sort of farce. What they achieve is more like Wayne's World meets Winesburg, Ohio at the corner of Twin Peaks and Peyton Place. But Marlon and Mira make it hum.

It's not that bad that it's not worth checking out to see a grotesquely bloated Marlon Brando.

This movie has become a very interesting movie that has attracted the attention of the audience. The angle the director was able to see is amazing. The roles of the actors in the film were very special. I liked this movie very much.

Great cast & great fun! I don't know why this got such low scores/ reviews because it was ridiculously entertaining like the Series Fargo meets Shameless

This movie is actually not so bad, it is funny and entertaining and has some great performances by especially Marlon Brando, Charlie Sheen and Thomas Haden Church. For me, only watching Marlon Brando in this performance is entertaining enough.

This was a very confusing and unpleasant experience. I forgot why I added this movie to my queue, and I didn't recognise Marlon Brando (I kept thinking "Wait, is that Brando? No, definitely not, looks nothing like him") so the closing credits were a bit shocking. Also shocking? The rest of the movie. Jesus... I don't think I have the space or the patience to detail all the ways it's terrible, but it's probably best exemplified by the trained FBI agent being whacked on the head with her own shoe by a fat old man while he calls her a dyke. And that's the action denouement.
