As long as we recognize Lucas is washed up and most TV sucks, we'll all get along fine.

Eh.

This film is "hilarious" according to the marketing on the box. It's not.

Basically, this film is a wannabe "Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels" and "Snatch".

The casting and acting are fine. The problems lie with the fact that there isn't anything at all funny, the story is hard to follow due to the language and sound issues, and because the story is bland. Plus, there are a few throwaway characters including the love interest to the main character.

See it only if you loved the aforementioned films it tries to be and nothing else is available.

I own it. I thought it was at least a 7 out of 10.

This will've to go in the queue. I think I'm approaching my Netflix queue maximum amount, though.

500 is the max. But you can have more than one que and assign DVD slots to them. For example I've got a que of 500 movies that gets 2 slots and a que of 500 tv series discs that gets 3 slots.

... and an Outlook reminder that has another couple of thousand items on it that pops up every week to add back in to refill the queues.

Neither do I. But my existence seems not to piss me off of late as much as it used to.

Liked it but I agree, language and sound issues made it hard to follow at times. Watched it again with subtitles on and it made much more sense.
