Reviews
Pluskylang Great Film overall
Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
Nicole I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
SnoopyStyle Tommy Spinelli (Joe Pesci) is a mob guy transporting 8 heads across the country as proof of deaths. Charlie mistakenly picks up his bag. He's on vacation with his girlfriend Laurie Bennett (Kristy Swanson) and her parents (George Hamilton, Dyan Cannon). Laurie wants to break up. The mother is a recovering alcoholic. When she finds the heads, everybody thinks she's drunk.Joe Pesci is aggressively hateful and not in a funny way. Charlie is pathetic and the actor lacks charisma. Laurie is unlikeable. Nobody is likable. Also they are boring. The family slapstick is bland and weak. At least Pesci isn't boring. However the whole movie is unfunny.
gavin6942 A mob bagman (Joe Pesci) finds that his luggage, containing the proof of his latest hit, has been switched.This was a nice departure for David Spade, stepping away from "Saturday Night Live", though still staying within comedy. Not his best work, but also probably not his fault. As a whole, the movie never really takes off the way it should.The exception is an awesome dream sequence, perhaps one of the better dream sequences ever filmed. Sadly, this one minute is the very best -- the rest of the film does not live up to the great title. Overall, it is quite tame on the violence and gore for the subject matter. If the same story was done without it being comedy, who knows how great this might have been?
tonymurphylee I have to start by asking, What kind of a premise is that!? A man who is about to married gets stuck with a duffel bags with specifically eight heads. How did he get the heads? His duffel bag got switched with a hit man's duffel bag on an airplane! Um. Out of all the interesting film premises out there, why on earth does this film have to have that as the premise? So right off, I hated the story. The rest of the film isn't bad. It isn't a particularly funny film, although David Spade and Joe Pesci are really funny in this. I suppose I can recommend it. I just would have preferred that the film didn't have such a weird story. David Spade and Joe Pesci are excellent and it's a different kind of film. That's about all I can say.
vlvetmorning98 I saw this wonderful movie during its theatrical release, and everyone in the small theatre, including myself and my mother, loved just about every scene. Watch it with an open mind and you'll be very pleased. Joe Pesci, Kristy Swanson, and especially Ernestine Mercer, are absolutely hilarious. Even David Spade doesn't completely suck! Nice surreal touches as well.
