Wonderful character development!
Absolutely brilliant
I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
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.
This movie was really good, if you like Jason Mewes or just comedy movies this is the movie for you. I had a great time hanging out with all the actors in the film, and I definitely give it a 10! I can't wait until it comes out. I have to say that i loved the ending it was a very cool twist, and I think that speaking snooplish would be awesome. My favorite part was at the beginning when Jason Mewes and Jason Marsden are playing with the soda glass, and the salt. I personally don't think that Wendel should have took the money, but he did a great job pretending to be retarded, even when Edward furlong was supposed to be babysitting him, or when they were in the pool. Great job guys it was a superb script!
