What makes it different from others?

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This is one real farce of a film that just doesn't cut it. A guy has his friend imitate Sean Connery so that he can land a role in his next James Bond film. The guy does great imitations including that at the end of the movie of Arnold Schwarzenegger.If that isn't enough, our guy and his band of wacky friends, including a screenwriter, conspire to steal medicinal drugs. Then, our guy finds out that the government is offering a reward for the return of the drugs so they conspire to steal and then return the goods for the reward. Of course, they have a rude awakening at the end.Those two sisters with guy names are stupid as ever to say the least.

Tom (Corin Nemec) is in a rut. His famous girlfriend has dumped him, and he is completely broke. His friends, including a drug addict named Quebert (Jason Mewes), and Ben (David Faustino) plan to steal money anyway they can. This includes lying to Sean Connery's agent, Patrick (Andy Dick). This all rounds up to a funny con film. I thought of it as a film with laughs, and clever cons. I will admit, I thought this is a great cast, which is why when I saw it in the video store, I had to see it. I had no idea what the hell this was, my expectations very low, but I loved it. It was excellent, a charming little comedy. It was nice to see a cast of people like Danny Trejo, Jason Mewes, Andy Dick, Lacey Chabert, Edward Furlong, and Robert Rodriguez in a movie together without making it too over the top or raunchy. It's a calm, great little movie. It never tries to be more than it's not, and it's very clever. It's unpredictable, with a lot of surprises in store. I thought the end twist was a surprising and funny one. It made me feel that Hollywood needs way more movies like this, and then maybe, just maybe, Hollywood will be great once again.

This movie is very funny and I think that people all over the world should see it. It has some good one liners like "in my heaven it's endless tofu balls, tube socks and boobies" the guys replies "your heaven sounds likes a sweat shop" another good one "I'm going snorkeling and won't be coming up for air, that's how good I am " It's worth your time. See it, yo.I like it, it's good.I have to write 10 lines but I don't have anything else to say.It's good, it's funny, see it.See it when it comes out.

I watched this movie on a DVD at the doctor's office while waiting for my husband to have some tests. I am afraid that I disturbed the decorum of the place with my frequent outbursts of laughter. They didn't quite ask me to leave, but I did get a lot of disapproving looks. The comedic action is enhanced by a wonderful plot with plenty of twists and turns; also, great characters which are brought to life by the quality acting that is seen throughout. The writing and directing are superb. I particularly enjoyed small bits of action in the background. They are real gems, so keep your eyes open for them. When the movie is released for general viewing, be sure to see it. Just one caution, don't watch it in a place where you are not comfortable with laughing out loud.
