A terrifically gifted cast (Buscemi, Turturro) is wasted in this flat, amateurish comedy. Go to Full Review

R V 08/19/2024 Phenomenal indie film with some legendary performances. It’s not a Hollywood puff piece, so don’t go looking for that in this one. See more 05/19/2020 Never have I seen such a stupid movie in my life. What a waste of fabulous talent. You should have asked for help with the story... if you had asked any one of the actors in this film who I am sure were creating better material in their off camera time.... maybe there could have been some hope. I just kept asking myself: How could these actors get through this material? And the ending? OMG why did I waste my time on this... lesson learned See more 04/16/2020 A fantastic cast give this simple little movie some fun moments. In the vein of "She's Gotta Have It," more of an omnibus exploration of a New York neighborhood and the cartoonish inhabitants therein. Def worth a viewing. See more 12/28/2018 Held interest but not very stich ed together See more 04/15/2013 A pure classic low budget comedy masterpiece! See more 06/11/2010 One of the funniest and most well made dirt budget independent films ever. Also, it is surprisingly very well acted and the characters portrayed in this film are hilarious, thanks to actors like John Turturro, Samuel L. Jackson and Steve Buscemi who would later hit it big. A must see for any fan of independent cinema or anyone who's interested in dialogue-based comedy. See more Read all reviews
