I'm dumbfounded by all the rave reviews here; how anybody could possibly compare this twaddle with Laurel and Hardy or the Marx Brothers is just mystifying. Not one laugh, not one. I'm sorry, but stupid is not the same as funny. Pauly Shore is funnier than this.
I was foolish enough to go into this with high expectations, having read a few pages of reviews here, all of them glowing with praise. And all wrong. Except for a few truthful ones on the very last page. Why is that? Almost as if somebody doesn't want anyone to find out how terrible this film really is.
The truth is, not even Steve Buscemi and Billy Connoly could save this mess. The comedic timing needed to make something like this work is completely absent. I would have to blame that on the director, who apparently knows nothing about comedy.
