To think that after a beginning like Raging Bull, and other stellar performances from the truly warped Tommy in Goodfellas to Simon Wilder of With Honors, not to mention actually funny performances in My Cousin Vinnie, The Super, and Leo from the LW series, that he would do a total stinker like this. Although Danny Glover often chooses "Acting Lite" in his roles he does have a fair degree of talent. Why these two paired up to make this "movie" I will never understand.
If you have difficulty counting without the use of your fingers you might find a measure of humor here. Otherwise be prepared for 94 minutes of the most horrendous bad acting caught on film. I firmly believe there was not actually a script for this movie. How many times can you watch these two morons look at each other with their mouths agape, saying "Oh yeaaaah."?
I saw this when it first opened, hoping for some light, funny comedy, what I got was an hour and a half of me staring at my wife, her staring back wondering if it was ever going to be funny. Needless to say, our answer came with the credits. "Gone Fishin'" has become a catchphrase for anything that is truly horrible.
As an aficionado of B movies, in the Mystery Science Theater sense, I thoroughly enjoy a bad movie. It is a wonderful thing to add dialogue with friends and jeer at the horrors of movies like "Surf Nazis Must Die" (an actual title, check it out) but this doesn't even make it to that worthy category of: So Bad You Have To See It. Spare your brain cells. If you want to see something stupid but funny there are an infinite number of choices. Too many choices for anyone to have a good reason to watch this.
