Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaClaudia Schiffer was originally cast as Karen.
- GoofsWhen Mikey (Elijah Wood) is about to shoot Bollingsworth (Tom Wilkinson), he points a Walther P99 pistol at him. The pistol is, however, not cocked as revealed by the absence of the bright red "cocked" indicator below the rear sights. This would make it impossible for the weapon to fire. (This may have been an intentional precaution by the filmmakers as the weapon has no safety switch.)
- Quotes
Mikey: Excuse me, is this chair being used?
Snotty Man: Does it look like it's being used?
Mikey: "Does it look like it's being used?" That's a good one.
[Mikey picks up the chair and smashes the man with it]
Mikey: Now it's being used.

Featured review
It's all over the place, but the very talented cast chewing piles of scenery makes it enjoyable. Steve Zahn plays a clueless barber who steps into the world of high crime, by accident, and also happens to fall in love
As if to make some point about how one wrong (or is it right?) move can forever influence our lives - or, how inter-connected we all may be, every piece - every character falls into line with every other character in the film, at least in some way. It's fun to watch the device unfold, but it maybe grows a little tiresome by the time we reach the third act. To say any more would take away from the fun. But, if you like the stars of the film (and there are many), and your comedy a little ironic and black, you will find this film enjoyable. Not to be taken seriously for a moment; to be enjoyed with hot, buttered popcorn. Fun, if not totally memorable.
