Critics didn't like this film. Sylvester Stallone is a surprise, fans of Rocky or Rambo may not like it. This film shows a cast that all including Stallone have good comedic timing, and a cast that play well off one another. The movie takes you back to some of the fast paced comedies of the 30s and 40s. Has some great cameos from older actors, as well as some unexpected performances. Chaz Palmieri as a gangster is expected, but his character isn't what you expect. If you are a fan of a good play on words, sense of humor this is a must see. It is one of those movies where even when you know what is going to happen you still laugh. This is often over looked, and under appreciated. If a few laughs, a break in your day is needed, this is one to put on your top ten list.
