File under why?
Not only is the premise of The Shipment tired, its execution is just shy of
painful. The shipment in question is Mexican Viagra, the kind of phony remedy
you read about daily in spam emails. Presumably the reason you never receive
that Viagra when you order it is because the shipment didn't quite make it to
its destination.
Enter mobsters, who head into the "country" in search of their lost drug
shipment, encountering yokels like sheriff Matthew Modine and Crazy Jose (Paul
Rodriguez), who ends up with the goods.
Extremely violent (in the hopes that you will somehow find endless murders
funny), this "comedy" never even makes you break a smile. It's painfully un
funny, a hopeless derivative of classics like It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. It
even makes Rat Race look good in comparison.
Avoid.
