Sometimes we watch movies for the strangest reasons; at least I do. I tuned into this movie about a bunch of aging mobsters for one reason - and it wasn't to see Richard Dreyfuss, Burt Reynolds, Dan Hedaya, or Seymour Cassel, who played some aging mobsters trying to stop the development of their South Beach hotel.
I do have to say that the mob needs a retirement plan, as it is pitiful seeing old wise guys flipping burgers or dancing with old widows for $3.50 an hour.
The mobsters came up against the Columbian mob led by Miguel Sandoval when they accidentally whacked his father. They didn't really, but that part of the humor in this film.
It was nice to see Jennifer Tilly and Carrie Ann Moss, and Jeremy Piven as a sleazy mob-connected detective that was always trying to hit on Moss, but they are not the reason I tuned in either.
This story has been done before in different ways with different characters. There was noting especially funny about this version or the actors involved.
So, why did I watch it? I wanted to see Christa Campbell, who was on the screen for maybe five seconds. I could have waited for next month's Playboy, or October's Scars, or the release of Death by Engagement, but I just couldn't wait. It wasn't worth the five seconds.
