        Plot: Taking place in Montreal, Quebec, Nick 'Oz' Ozeransky (Perry) hates his wife (Rosanna Arquette) who jus wants him to pay her fathers debt, Oz then finds out that an ex contract killer, Jimmy Tudeski (Willis) has moved in next door. Meanwhile, in Chicago, the son of a mob boss, Janni (Kevin Pollak) wants Jimmy's head, so Oz's wife sends Oz to Chicago to tell the mob boss's son where Jimmy is hiding out so he can get some cash. In the middle of all this are Janni's bodyguard Frankie Figs (Michael Clarke Duncan), Oz's secretary, Jill (Amanda Peet) and Jimmy's wife Cynthia (Natasha Henstridge). Also involved are numerous plot twists and turns, enough to keep you guessing just what the hell is going to happen next?

        My Take: Ah dear, I'm lucky I cant still remember most of the movie, although I think I laughed at some of the scenes by myself, shit. Following the footsteps of a similar movie that had success, yeah I'm talkin bout Analyze This, we have another contract killer/mob boss/comedy movie with Bruce Willis replacing DeNiro and Matthew Perry replacing Billy Crystal. So yeah, your not seeing anything really new in this movie. Well, I guess that is a lie.

        There are so many plot twists, and turns, its mind boggling. If you watched the first 20 minutes, fell asleep, then woke up at the end, you will wonder 'just how the fuck did these people end up together'... seriously. This film, showcases a lot of talent, with some feature names in this flick. Coming off his Oscar nominated role in The Green Mile Michael Clarke Duncan has another strong performance her as the brute bodyguard. The surprise performance comes from an 'unknown' Amanda Peet as Jill, Oz's secretary at the Dentist. Peet delivers a hilarious performance and a believable one as well. Jill wants to be a contract killer too, and is a big fan of Jimmy's work so she decides to take advantage of Oz being the next door neighbour, and gets to know Jimmy a bit better. She also has a nice set of hooters too.

        Every character shines at one moment or another, and everyone seems to crack a joke here and there. Whether it be with their fake accent, or their violent behaviour, there was enough chuckles to satisfy anyone with a sense of humour. Seriously though, there is a plot somewhere in the middle of all the characters. But the characters were just too one dimensional, I mean in every scene, it was like they were acting the same, saying the same shit over and over, and the humour got repetitive... but oh well, You don't go to a comedy for character development now do you?

        Not really aimed for teenagers I guess, as I didn't find all the comedy THAT humorous, my parents liked it, and I think anyone over 20 or so will enjoy it more. That's that.

RATING : *** out of *****
