The problem with "Pawn Shop Chronicles" is not the fact that it is a clone of "Pulp Fiction." The problem is that it is a lousy clone.

A hillbilly grindhouse yawp of a movie that belches in your face and leaves a sour stink.

It gets pretty tiring watching decent actors indulge in such broad and unfunny caricatures.

The club scenes are incredible. Jennifer Lopez does her own dancing, training for months on the pole for that authentic feel. Cameos give it a never-ending party feel.

The freewheeling script strains to be edgy while most of its jokes fall flat.

Pawn Shop Chronicles' stylistic flourishes, used so judiciously in The Cooler are heavy-handed here and, with the possible exception of when the picture squints into anamorphic, just not that clever.

The movie starts violently with a first story being not too interesting, yet very good crafted. You need some intelligence and no prejudice to understand this violent comedy. Tremendously underrated. Brendan Fraser as decadent Elvis is superb! Excellent entertainment!

Maybe it's a bit of a mess, but ambition should be rewarded. Moreover, this is a great cast put together. I think it's worth a watch.

Just more proof that these old hack washed up critics don’t understand the art of film anymore, just because YOU didn’t like it doesn’t mean it’s not a good movie worthy of a watch. Don’t compare it to anything and just enjoy the ride.
