how can anybody give this piece of junk a positive review. Franco is narcissistic, how much does this guy love himself,seriously i am 70 years old and was in times square in the 6o's 70's et al and it was not at all like portrayed. and c'mon past posting at Monticello? no bookmaker in his right mind would take a bet at that track let alone a large one as portrayed in the clip. i watched for 25 minutes and could not take it anymore just too campy and toooo much Franco,for crying out loud let someone have a job to play his brother.
