If you are a Mitch Hedberg fan then this movie is definitely for you! This movie is hard to find, in fact I had a VHS copy sent to me by Mitch Hedbergs manager or someone I had gotten in contact with on his website, but then I lost it and I am now in search of another copy of it.
The movie has its slow parts and the plot is a bit shaky but the jokes and one liners and random crap going on in the movie is just hilarious. I can count two scenes I remember when all the characters break out into dancing for no apparent reason at all, and the dancing they are doing is horrible, yes, horrible, and you will just find yourself laughing for reasons beyond your comprehension. But you have to watch the movie to know what I mean. There are a couple jokes from Mitch's stand up routine in here also. I wish Dave Attel's character stayed in the movie longer, regardless every scene he is in is hilarious. Also Todd Barry, a lesser known comedian, is in this too. He plays a hotel manager at the Hotel where Hedberg's character Lee is staying. The scene between Hedberg and Barry when Mitch is leaving for work the first morning is one of my favorite, "How come the breakfast buffet ain't got no OJ man?" "Awe I take that s*** for myself." Watch this movie, and if you are not satisfied watch it again, trust me. Its like hearing the new song from a band you love and not liking it the first time you hear it but then hearing it again and again and then falling in love with it.

Love Mitch but movie was awful. Probably cost $500 to make.Mitch has funny ideas but the photography wasn't good at all. Looks like they just threw this thing together . Too bad he left us too soon. It would have been fun to see him develop even more as an entertainer. I couldn't even watch more than 5 min.
I though maybe this was a case of a decent movie that didnt get the exposure it needed and never got popular. Nope... It's just badly done throughout. The acting (if it can be called that) ranges from "meh" to terrible. Really bad music. Bad dialog. Tried watching this three times and couldn't watch more than 15 minutes of it. Yes it is bad. Skip it you aren't missing anything
Now this is a gem.Los Enchiladas! not only starred Mitch Hedberg but he also wrote and directed it. Who is Mitch Hedberg you ask?Only one of the funniest men to ever walk the earth.It's surprising he did a movie since one of his most famous bits is about comedians becoming writers and actors. "You are a good chef, can you farm?". His drug fogged reality made for a hit or miss one liner style and he almost never looked at the audience. As sad as it was to see him die,I can't say I was surprised. Anyway,this movie is exactly what you would think a movie written by Mitch would be,FUNNY. If your idea of funny is Friends or Everybody Loves Raymond,you probably won't like it. If you like Cheech & Chong or Tim & Eric or Mr. Show,you will love this. The story is loosely based on his real life and is just about him traveling the country working in restaurants. Dave Attell and Todd Barry are also in this but the funniest person in the movie is Jim Jorgensen,who plays the wacky chef. Most importantly,this movie was never released.All that exists is one not so good VHS copy. Mitch's widow is supposed to be trying to release it but she said that years ago. If you like to laugh,SEE THIS.
Oh man, badly shot movie, on SVHS. Bad lighting and audio but the premise is there. I didn't watch all of it but it had some good stuff in it interspersed with a long boring narrative. I've given it a 10 because it's Mitch and he would have gone on to make some brilliantly funny movies. Life's too short guys, make the most of it.

- TriviaThree different local restaurants were used to portray the film's restaurant; one for the dining room scenes, a second for the kitchen scenes, and a third for the outside of the restaurant, which was a Chi-Chi's that Mitch actually worked at many years before and was the main inspiration for the film.
