Joe Pesci, Andy Comeau, Kristy Swanson, George Hamilton, Dyan Cannon, David Spade, Todd Louiso
Written & Directed by Tom Schulman
This was such a forgettable movie. It has a funny premise, one that always kept me interested in seeing it.
Of course Joe Pesci is an excellent actor who's had his share of good comedic roles (My Cousin Vinny, The Super, Home Alone, Lethal Weapon 2-4). His role just seemed like a walking stereotype and impersonation of Goodfellas character.
Andy Comeau, the actual lead character, was pretty boring. Kristy Swanson's time was wasted in such a small unexplored role.
The story seemed repetitive, with the same gags and events going on again and again. But there was a lot that didn't make sense. We're to believe the main character hadn't seen his girlfriend in six months? He said she was a race car driver, but that was never mentioned again. So many plot holes.
I'll give the premise it's due: it sounded really funny. The execution just didn't pan out as well.
