      Audience Member Non-stop laughs from these two '90s pranksters who run afoul of NYC mafia. Helmet performs and Ozzy speaks in this chase film which is essentially a collection of hilarious skits playing upon stereotypes, many expanded upon from the comedy duo's highly successful CD series. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member Some things just age very poorly and are better left in the past, where they can remain fond memories. I used to piss myself watching this in high school, but now... it's just a lot of cringe. There's a couple kind of funny reactions throughout, but for the most part it's poorly done. The Frank Rizzo character they do is still a riot though. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 09/17/20 Full Review alex k My Favorite Comedy Film Is 1933's Duck Soup. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is just stupid and pointless. Although a plot line was attempted, it has so many holes it just falls apart. Even fans of the Duo's comedy albums will be severely disappointed. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Such a great movie,awesome cast!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member I enjoy this movie, it's hilarious. Fuck what the milky-licking critics have to say.

      Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: F Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Rated: 0/5 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...boasts an opening stretch revolving mostly around the central characters’ decidedly unfunny prank phone calls... Rated: 2/4 Oct 9, 2023 Full Review Malcolm Johnson Hartford Courant While not intended for those effete sophisticates whose idea of film is a Merchant-Ivory classic, this first movie for Johnny Brennan and Kamal proves fitfully funny as the boys bumble along with their low '90s humor. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 17, 2018 Full Review Steve Crum Kansas City Kansan The lame duo truly come off looking (as is repeatedly said in the film) like 'two low-lifes from Queens.' (published 2-17-95) Rated: F Jan 5, 2005 Full Review Jon Niccum Lawrence Journal-World A bad idea executed poorly Rated: 1/5 Jan 9, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews
