Max (Til Schweiger) dreams of becoming a great Magician in Vegas. So he blackmails Hugo (Fabrizio Bentivoglio) a gifted pick pocket to become his partner. They enlist the help of a professional(Alan Arkin) to help them get their act together and recruit a waitress (Claire Forlani) to be their assistant.
What ensues is a trip to vegas. But on the way they must practice and hone their act in the most unlikely of venues. Misshaps and laughs abound as they draw closer to the "Holy Grail"....VEGAS!

4 Stars. If it wasnt for a somewhat slow drawn out begining I would have given it a 5.

This movie is unrated apparently. I would rate it at R for language.

I got a copy of a dvd, not even the real dvd, no menu, no fast forward chapters. It's essentially a bootleg which is illegal to sell and I will be contacting amazon about this. The movie however is a great film. Find it somewhere else.

an entertaining little movie, especially if you like Til Schweiger, who, I am told, is the German Brad Pitt. I can't say I would have come to that conclusion on my my own. I did work on this film - I decided to buy a copy because I realized that my contract provided for my name on the DVD case. That's pretty rare, so I ordered a copy. It's there. This alone is probably not enough reason to buy the film, but it's fun, and you get to see some decent B actors in rather strange roles. And it's a must if you're a fan of James Merendino, the director.
