Thanks for the memories!
Absolutely the worst movie.
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
I found this movie 4 years ago on Italian pay-TV, it was very less advertised and I've seen it only because that night there wasn't nothing apart it, and it was with famous actors like Steve Zahn and Salma Hayek. And when it started, I read the others actors of the cast! One name better than the previous: Jeff Goldblum, Elijah Wood, Orlando Jones, Tom Wilkinson, David Cross. This is a good point to start watching a unknown movie: discover a beautiful cast. Then, the movie, obviously. I love black comedy and generally all the movie with a lot of different characters which want the same thing(s), like Snatch, Big Trouble And this one is absolutely the best. It's very funny, which is a very hard thing to find nowadays, few times banal, and it has a tremendous pace (in 1 hour and 35 minutes happens everything you can imagine). Moreover the plot begin almost at the end of the history, and then it's a flashback followed by another flashback, and so for all the actors, but, that is the best thing about this movie, it's never really hard to figure out and, although it is complex, it's easy to rebuild the history, which is globally believable. It's quite clean (not like the majority of black comedies), unfortunately it has a large number of dirty words (in the Italian version I've counted more of 70 of them), but they are proportionate at the characters. So, isn't a deep movie to think about something, it's the better way to relax yourself sometimes. Discover it, because isn't famous at all!
I watched this film the other day - it was on Sky movies and I decided to check it out. Basically Salma Hayek is a detective for a case about the ancient Chinese coins stolen from a museum, the 'Shiney New Enemies'. The bloke from Road Kill is the main guy - a suicidal hairdresser - and he plays the part so well. Elijah Wood plays a 'hard-boy' hit-man, but really he's just a big softie. The hairdresser comes across these coins after 'killing' the man who stole them, somewhat accidentally. His nephew Scottie swallows them and he wants to take Scottie to France to 'fence' the coins, which will be pooed out in 24 hours or so. It reminded me of a cross between All I Want (or Try 17 in the US) and... er... a crime movie. Very well worth watching!
Ok, well, this wasn't a masterpiece or a greater work of art. But it sure was a very funny movie. A movie, which, given the right release, could have been a hit. It's a good script, a very hilarious one. The premise is nothing new. Just the story of a normal guy who, agains't his own will, get thrown into a bunch of impossible situations. I'll give this movie a 7. A perfect movie to watch with a bunch of friends. The only problem is finding it.
I was quite surprised by this movie, had not heard of it but did a lot of LOL. Some real characters in unreal situations. And that scoutmaster. These guys are real losers but you gotta like them. I also felt the use of flashbacks and jumping around in time was done quite well. A real sleeper worth a watch.
