I know this film had a troubled release history as it was going to be released late in September 2001 but after the horrors of 9/11, it was shelved and then very quietly released in 2002 where it sank.

Undeservedly so: it is a very funny film - Tom Sizemore and Stanley Tucci are hilarious, especially Tucci who gets too close to a giant frog and starts hallucinating that his dog has Martha Stewart's head  :buggedout: - it gets a bit too corny at times but didn't deserve the fate it got.

We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

I loved this movie!!! The screenplay was by Dave Barry, one of my favorite humorists and writers!

Agreed: Johnny Knoxville was also very funny as a thug with pantyhose on his head and because said hose are too thick, he can't see where he's going.  :teddyr:

Incidentally: was that Sofia Vergara I saw in this?  :hot:

Love this movie.
Through the darkness of future past
The magician longs to see
One chance opts between two worlds
Fire walk with me

You have a good eye for actors, Trevor, because the answer is yes. She was 15th billed as a character name Nina.

I had forgotten I had seen this, when it was first released to theaters, till I remembered that Tim Allen was in it. Some of the other actors in it included . . .

Rene Russo, Dennis Farina, Janeane Garofalo, Patrick Warburton, Zoey Deschael, Heavy D, Omar Epps, Jason Lee, Andy Richter, and with a cameo appearance by Dave Barry.
