Screenwriter Joe Wein has smartly wired these three bizarre personal stories into a raucously satisfying triumph of good over evil.

The comedy is extremely broad and there's a slight air of desperation to the whole thing, as if the film is trying too hard to be quirky and likeable.

It feels completely pointless, despite some entertaining sequences and gifted performers.

The word 'quirky' should be stricken from the English language if Hollywood doesn't stop churning out comedic romps that try too hard.

I liked it enough to watch three or four times over the years. I agree with the thoughts of Laura M in her review. Overlook the details and enjoy the flow. BTW, the car that Woody drives is an EV1. It's the vehicle that started the modern electric car revolution.

I very much enjoyed this movie. Sure, it's a little outlandish, from a millionaire chasing down egging hooligans with a shotgun and a mean Pomeranian to the most poorly-secured bank in the history of video surveillance. But the story is a fun romp with a stellar cast, doesn't take itself seriously and wraps itself up in a nice little bow at the end. In the end, it was just good entertainment.

This film has a real indie feel to it. The characters are pretty wacky and the plot felt a bit weak but it was reasonably entertaining I suppose. I mainly wanted to see it as Woody Harrelson and John Cleese star in it - Johns character isn't exactly breaking any new ground, its safe to say and Woody appeared to be playing a somewhat stereotypical 'knuckle headed' person. In its favour, I quite liked the split screen present toward the end of the film and it did become a bit more tense in one key scene but overall it felt very much unmemorable. Also, I felt it looked very 1990s-ish, although it dates from 2003 I believe. There are no doubt worse films you could see but I wouldn't bother to go out of your way to see this one.

Quintessential Y2K movie. Not sure why all the hate from rotten tomatoes!

A fun movie -- no comedy classic but a fairly complex and enjoyable story with an able cast.
