Not horrible -- though this Judd Nelson crime comedy doesn't have a whole lot
going for it, namely its hampering by a rather obvious script. Nelson and the
always-fun Seymour Cassel play hit men who have just killed the son of the
local mob boss (permanent gangster character actor Joe Viterelli). Apparently
oblivious to their imminent predicament, Nelson decides to look for some booty
at the local convenience store and Cassel, who has recently outed himself,
heads to the local bar for a strawberry daiquiri. Naturally, Viterelli will
encounter our hapless thugs -- but not before they have crossed paths with two
local waitresses and a pair of goofball slacker types. All of this comes
together in, you guessed it, a heap of sex and bullets.
The film is helped admirably by the two slutty waitresses -- admirably played
by Marisa Ryan and Amy Hathaway -- two girls who clearly hate each other only
slightly less than they hate their own lives. The rest of the film is a bit
forgettable -- a bunch of tired jokes about condoms and froufrou drinks, but at
least it's not a total loss. Here's to hoping Ryan and Hathaway move on to
brighter things!
Aka The Cure for Boredom.
