farce...not bad...

When nardo has a hard time paying the bills, he's ready to take drastic measures to earn extra money. So he becomes an escort for rich, older women. It's a tongue in cheek farce; the italian family guy getting threatened by the mob, doing whatever he can to raise money. His wife is sure he's cheating. Their accents all come and go. James gandolfini is in here, a couple years before sopranos. The awesome rita moreno, as isabella. It moves kind of slow, but its a fun tale. Directed by roberto monticello, who was also a minister of the legendary conch republic. Check it out... it has its own wikipedia page. Fun stuff.

Bad bad bad

I don't get it, is this a comedy, or a drama or what?!? This probably is the worst story I've ever seen, and as a fan of b-movies, horror and science fiction I've seen a lot of crap, but that one beats everything I've ever seen. It's not even cheesy. The only reason I didn't switch the channel was cause I was to lazy to search for the remote. Well, and cause I was playing on my computer so I was distracted enough so I didn't take any permanent damage by it. 1 of 10 points. This movie has nothing in it worth watching.

Wow just terrible

This is full of so many clichés and really bad Italian accents ! Story is terrible bad acting and forgettable characters . The only good thing is You can see James Gandolfini pre sopranos even acting with Vinny Pastore . You can see some Tony Soprano in his character in this movie well minus the bad Italian accent . Overall pretty bad and not sure what it wants to be a comedy or drama .

Goofs
In the pizza shop when one of the goons yells out that all he wants is his money; the audio sound drastically changes. It becomes a room sound like that of a distant boom microphone whereas before it was a more present sound like that coming from a lapel or a lavalier microphone.
