A decent comedy, undeserving of obscurity, 6 January 2004
Author: Leadbelly_Schoenberg from Canada

This is a funny movie!

I probably should not start off a review with a statement so obvious, but in a climate which recently saw the release of DUDE WHERE'S MY CAR and other teen travesties, that means a lot! It really does.

Michael Keaton, Christopher Lloyd and Peter Boyle are the perfect comedy team. Keaton brings the kind of charismatic anger, which is comparable only to Jack Nicholas. Lloyd and Boyle, meanwhile, play up sublte comedy angles. The plot is really nothing but an excuse to turn these three, uncouth personalities lose on the streets of New York.

This is exactly what I want in a disposable comedy: sharp personalities feeding off of each other.

As an added bonus, the viewer is treated to a performance by an exceptionally young Lorraine Bracco.

See it!
