This is an awesome movie that snuck under the radar for most. So funny and so full of memorable lines! Highly recommended for a fun and light thing to watch at a time when we need things to laugh about! Watch it and you too will be saying... “Thank YOU Mr. Acavano!” 🤣

I remember seeing this on cable back when it was released. An amazing comedy team and supporting actors. This is a hidden gem of a gangster movie that's not only funny but actually has a great story.

I saw this movie in the theatre back in 1986 and enjoyed it immensely. The critics, with Siskel and Ebert being one of the few exceptions, generally dismissed it. I think they missed the boat on this one. Danny DeVito, in probably one of his better screen roles, and Joe Piscopo are a funny and engaging comic team. If Piscopo had more opportunities like this he would have had a sustained film career away from "Saturday Night Live". What a great supporting cast Brian DePalma has assembled here: Dan Hedaya, Frank Vincent, and a hilarious Captain Lou Albano. A minor quibble is the film underutilizes the late, great Ray Sharkey(Sonny Steelgrave from TV's "Wiseguy") and Harvey Keitel. This is a film that deserves to be discovered and definitely be re-evaluated by it's detractors.

Funny and well written. Dann DeVito and Joe Piscopo pulled of a pretty good tale of two lackeys characters trying to work their way up as
criminals in organized crime. Nothing could possibly go right for these not criminal type characters. Its an old movie but I think if you have ever watched any movies about Organized crime you will probably have many laughs seeing how disorganized organized crime can be.

This is a funny funny movie. I remember seeing it in the theater and said that Devito, Piscopo (yes, that Joe and Captain Lou Albano made a hell of a comedy team and helmed by Brian DePalma this movie is a minor gangster classic.

Danny DeVito and Joe Piscopo are a perfect pair to make you laugh and entertain you and your family. This is a terrific movie with an excellent twist.

Admittedly, this movie would lose some of it's appeal for the younger generation, but for anyone over the age of 35 or 40, who appreciates older mob humor from the 80's and 90's, this movie stands the test of time. It's part slapstick, part sarcasm, part "feel-good", and part comedy classic. Two neighborhood nobodies, with sub-par lives, working at the lowest level for a neighborhood wiseguy, decide to take a chance at the track.........and from there, well..........hilarity.

Great movie!...Funny, funny, funny!!!
