Trivia

When Tim Allen's character is getting his mugshot, it shows him as being well over 6' tall (with the measurement wall behind him). Tim is actually 5'9".

Goofs

Since Tommy was already convicted and had served 36-months in a Federal prison, he would be released on parole, not probation. He would report to a Parole Agent not a Probation Officer. Parole is an early release program whereas probation is a diversionary program.

User Reviews

Unbelievable garbage

Wow. What a piece of crap. I made it through this tripe out of sheer morbid curiosity to see just how bad a film could be. The back of the DVD had the gall to claim it as an "outrageously funny" - a straight-out, self-absorbed lie. It appears that other reviewers gave pity points to a vastly unfunny and unbelievable Tim Allen who must have some sort of dirty secret on a Hollywood studio exec to get this stinker made. But pity should not be given to someone making millions on the thing. They're paid ridiculously well - so entertain us. That's what we paid for. To be honest, I equate this to fraud as Milli Vanilli was forced to pay back the public, so too should Tim Allen. Shame on you, Tim. You can do better.
