Things to do in Hollywood when you're dead

A near masterpiece.? Excuse me? Are employees of Lionsgate writing these reviews because this is as bad as it gets. Here we have a crime comedy flick that guess what - isn't remotely funny. Its sad watching Pacinos career get flushed down the toilet bowl . Never as busy as De Niro gone are the days when he was more selective. Maybe decent scripts just don't arrive on his desk anymore.

The story for what its worth is hackneyed and clichéd and yet they still manage to mess up the script. Pacinos' character has another nasty medical escapade with his genitals.Oooh that needle must have hurt. Shouldn't have taken all those blue pills. Must have brought memories of People I Know flooding back. In fact male genitalia are the meat and drink for various unfunny gags during the first part of the movie.

Walken tries his best but he was much funnier in the equally lame Seven Psychopaths. Its Cocoon for the mob with Butch Cassidy thrown in the mix. 2013 just got off to a really poor start.
