A young man from New Jersey comes to Los Angeles to visit his slightly crazy cousin and gets mistaken for a successful New York artist.
Despite my better self, I actually enjoyed this. An 8 might be slightly high score, but not by much.
Were there bad elements? Oh yes. Very bad. It was very derivative of a dozen better-known films (Get Shorty). It had a very heavy early-90s feel. The music was very bad.
But overall it had a good energy. Quirky. Charming. And very good structure. We clicked in with the lead right away and launched a good story right away. Then there were a parade of colorful and entertaining characters. Within a ton of very familiar elements, arose an originality. (And some good camera work, too.)
This would not have survived a theatrical release but is generally better than what is on the DVD market.
This is for you but only if you like quirky. It wasn't laugh-out-loud. But endearing? Yes.
