If you're that "god, I'm a serious movie rater and this better impress me" kind of movie watcher then go find another. But If you are in the mood to laugh and think odd pairs are funny then go for it. It helps to know the history of Martin Short's style of comedy. Nick Nolte's a pretty big guy and Sarah Doroff is really little. So Nolte just got outa prison and is supposed to be this big bad bank robber with a reputation. Martin Short is this nervous jobless dad that robs a bank just as Nick Nolte is there and takes Martin takes 'Nick' as a hostage.

Nick gets SHOT! Martin has a senile old friend that takes care of Rover(Nick). James Earl Jones does a belly-laugh. Sarah overcomes her trama to change gender. Martin Changes Gender! There's a Happy Ending Such a sweet movie- after its over put A Nightmare on Elm Street in for the contrast!

I bought this before I saw it. I based my purchase decision on the previews and specials I had watched during it's promotional period. My mistake. I liked the idea of the story but when I watched it I was disappointed because I had already seen most of what would have been the best parts. I have no connections with either side and the back story is vague.

The movie failed to lock my gaze. I found myself looking and interacting with other things while it was playing 1st run. I even let it play while I raided the fridge. Not much replay either, I've had it since it came out and i've only played it 2-3 times. By comparison: I have played the mummy and jp1,2&3 monthly. Perhaps the prequel/sequel will be better- I've held off on vanhelsing so I don't make the same mistake- VanHelsing may go well with this...I'm hesitant tho!
