MCT:October 5, 2008Oz: Damn it, Jimmy. What the hell did you have to go and move in next door to me?
Jimmy: Oz, do you know what kind of soil they have in this back yard? I've been here two days and I've got little tomato plants...
Oz: Oh my God!
A very funny movie, with some very funny performances. Willis and Perry work well together, as well as the quirky natures of all the others. Its certainly the kind of film that induces giggling often.
Perry plays Oz, a dentist, living a miserable life, married to a bitch, played by Rosanna Arquette, and he can't get out of it. Along comes Bruce Willis as a former hit man trying to move away from the mob after snitching.
Through no real fault of his own, Oz gets caught up in a scheme involving hit men vs hit men, each trying to rub one another out and get their hands on a lot of money.
Although the plot has some funny reveals, its not too important, what is funny is the dialog and reactions between these different characters.
Willis for example has two modes, quiet:
Jimmy: It's not important how many people I've killed. What's important is how I get along with the people who are still alive.
and mean and raging:
Jimmy: I'm gonna keep the coke and the fries but I'm gonna send this burger back. And if you put any mayonnaise on it, I'm gonna come over to your house, I'll chop your legs off, set fire to your house, and watch as you drag your bloody stumps out the door.
While the raging is kept at a minimum, the quiet has so much more intensity to it, but is played mainly for laughs against the worrier that is Perry's character.
Cynthia: Have you vomited recently?
Oz: A minute ago. I was just gonna brush my teeth.
Cynthia: I'll wait.
The great supporting cast that includes Michael Clarke Duncan and Kevin Pollack also helps, as everyone seems to have been having a good time making this movie. The biggest surprise comes from Amanda Peet in her breakout role as a amateur assassin who immediately clings to Willis' character.
Jill St. Claire: You don't like the Walther?
Jimmy: I think you should go with what you're comfortable with.
Jill St. Claire: It's what James Bond uses.
Jimmy: Really?
Jill St. Claire: Yeah.
This is a movie that I watch with great joy a lot. Its entertaining and works well as a hitman comedy.
Oz: He sa... he said you guys haven't even met.
Sophie Oseransky: Who you going to believe? A contract killer or your wife?
Oz: Do I have to answer that? -

Pretty funny movie, but sometimes just way too silly and the outcome of the movie simply isn't likely or believable.
-
MCT:September 17, 2008Funny movie, Mathew Perry and Bruce Willis make a good combination although Bruce Willis with anybody is a good combination.
-
MCT:August 27, 2008I tried committing suicide but now I realize I had to live one day more so I could watch 10 minutes from the sequel.Oh yes,slapstick stupidity.
-
MCT:August 12, 2008Probably the worst movie Bruce Willis has done.. absolutely not funny !!
Maybe a couple of funny lines -not even scenes- every now and then but that was it..
I was really disappointed since I was expecting something a lot better.. -
MCT:August 3, 2008Not exactly a movie that can be called a "classic", but I just rate it highly, because it makes me laugh out loud so easily. It's not so much about story in this movie. It's about funny moments.

MCT:July 28, 2008
Love this movie!! ...can't say so much about the sequel though.

"your going to Chicago where you will find janni gogolak and tell him you know where Jimmy Tudeski is, after you negotiate a finders fee...Is there a problem?
"other then that would make me a party to a murder?" -
MCT:July 18, 2008
As far as dark comedies go I think this was very good and well done. I wish that they would have followed up on certain aspects more such as Oz and Synthia's relationship but overall I liked it.

This movie seemed to try too hard to be funny at times, but it did manage to be smart above everything else. Great acting by everyone.
-
MCT:July 10, 2008
This was an OK movie.. I found the storyine a bit far fetched, a bit too over thte top in places, although it is meant to be a comedy. Matthew Perry gives a performance which reminded me a lot of Friends. Watchable, but not a favourite.
-
MCT:June 11, 2008
Okay. The movie seems to get better the further in you get. It's not brilliant though: 1 1/2 of those stars come from Matthews comedy moments!

MCT:June 2, 2008

-
MCT:May 25, 2008
This is a fun comedy. The actors seem to be having fun with their roles. I recommend this one but avoid the sequel.
-
MCT:May 21, 2008

Better Than I Expected Even With The Thin Storyline All The Cast Try Their Best At It And The Result Is A Good Witty Movie With Smart Twists And VEry Likable Because Of Matthew Perry's Jokes
-
MCT:March 11, 2008
Needless to say that Matthew Perry was really funny, and the whole movie get down good. The only thing is, this kind of twisting stories in which the parties switch parts in the end, are getting lame because of so much production. Couldn't they think of something else? !!
