Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Inconsistencies in tone are minor when compared to the confusion created by the editor's butchery.
A heavily made up Kevin Pollak -- (over)playing a Hungarian gangster -- best sums up the mood: 'Thees ees reminding me of my favoreet soup opera.'
... an utter disaster.
Will go anywhere for a gag.
