THEY SHOOT WRITERS DON'T THEY?

Warning: Spoilers
The film starts in 1978, In NYC the numbers racket is going out of business because the state is starting a lottery. Down on his luck, numbers runner Clyde Coltrane (Glenn Plummer) gets a call from LA. His friend Roscoe (Anthony Johnson) is in trouble. Clyde joins Roscoe who owns a restaurant and the mafia some money. Clyde plans to make the restaurant profitable and bail out Roscoe, however the only thing they have is chicken and flour.

The humor is worse than juvenile. For instance a blind black man is given the name "Eyeballs" (Kristian Bernard). He believes he is an Italian. Another barrel of laughs is a customer in the restaurant who stutters. The hired help talk about women as if they are Cheech Marin. I didn't laugh while this comedy was playing. The jokes didn't work. Not even a good spoof of African-American film.

Parental Guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. Woman in bra. Sex talk.
