Quite a bit can happen over the course of a single day in L.A., and when smooth-talking scam artist Johnny (Livingston) decides to throw a bachelor party for his best friend Bill (Schneider) the events of the day take a decidedly bizarre turn. As the festivities get underway, the appearance of a transvestite prostitute, a trigger-happy ex-con, and a notorious porn king signal that this isn't going to be your typical night on the town. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Brent Simon, Shared Darkness
American Crud is more like it -- little more than a wheel-spinning excuse for a bunch of crass stereotypes and outlandishly uninteresting oddballs to run around, spouting inanities.

Here's a great comedy brought forth by Craig Sheffer. Absolutely hilarious!! Great cast. Fantastic story plot. Missi Pyle, Rob Schneider, and Jennifer Esposito were absolutely outstanding. A must-see.
