Pointless screenplay should be placed in a duffel bag and lit on fire. Eventually, just as Tommy is about to snuff the frats, Charlie calls.

It is in some parts so daft that you just can't help but snigger. Bottom line; this no brainer offers marginal entertainment for the hard up couch potato and little else. Joe Pesci is aggressively hateful and not in a funny way. Well, I'm in a good mood today and I'm not going to follow everybody's opinion.
You wouldn't watch it with your mother, but it's really quite funny.

Steadicam assistant as Steve Ullman. I didn't find it funny or amuzing. Pesci is good - but so is just about everyone else.
Maid 1 as Sally Colon. They have the heads warble a tune in Tommy's dreams, while their headless bodies attack him. Airport Customs Inspector as Horacio LeDon.

This film is a piece of crap and a bag full of prejudice over south American countries. Mafia hitman Tommy Spinelli is flying to San Diego with a bag that holds eight severed heads, which he's bringing to his superiors to prove that some troublesome rival mobsters are permanently out of the picture.

Overall I would call it an enjoyable movie when you are able to switch off your brain for once. Before Tommy can intervene, Laurie's mother Dyan Cannon finds the heads.
However, there were some terrific ones as well, the best perhaps is the dream sequence. The premise of eight elusive disembodied heads is promising, for a black comedy at least, but the rest of the script is way too convoluted, with way too many characters. Tommy desperately needs his mob-hit proof back and Charlie already has a hard time making a good impression to his girl's parents.

His time on the airplane both in getting the heads on and the problems he encounters there off the first few laughs. And the script is wickedly funny too.

Those were the only hilarious parts through the whole movie. Pesci tortures two of Cameau's college buddies while Cameau and his girlfriend deal with the eight heads. There he gets the news from Laurie that she intends to break up with him. Pesci finds a great actor's solution to the scene: He's not fighting with the attendant, he's fighting with himself.

That there are sick people out there? The people who worked on this film should ashamed on theirselves I saw this wonderful movie during its theatrical release, and everyone in the small theatre, including myself and my mother, loved just about every scene.
