It is both a travesty and an insult not only to the viewers of this comedy (and I use the term "comedy" loosely)but to the large ensemble of gifted actors in this ill-fated project !It is a plot that has been so overused and better executed in past comedy movies dealing with the same subject matter; The wife or husband who wants to gain the significant other's inheritance by having them "nixed" (usually by hiring someone to do the dirty deed).Though, such a subject matter has been used for thriller films as well. Even the bumbling duo who botch up the job in the beginning of this clunker are typical characters found in other movies. The tricks and charades are very much cliche here!
The most appalling thing is the enormous ensemble of some of today's best actors used to carry out this lethargic and boring flick. It is lethargic in the sense that the humor and jokes were lacking in both content and quality (I know this statement is subjective, but see for yourselves and decide) with regards to the writing !
When a movie contains Natassja Kinski, Lara Flynn Boyle, Billy Zane, Michael Biehn, Adrian Paul, Dan Aykroyd, etc., etc., you expect top performances; You do get them in this comedy ! However, the material given to them is not something I (if I were an actor) would want to have added to my list of credited film roles.
Wait until some viewers sit through ending. Can you say MAJOR DISAPPOINTMENT...
