I watched about 45 minutes and gave up on it. I am a huge Danny Aiello fan, but he lost it unfortunately with age. He tries too hard to be funny and it doesn't work here. It was interesting seeing an aging Barbara Feldon (in her 70's but still pretty hot)for a couple of scenes, but that's about it.
Starts out with a sexually and nerdy repressed church choir boy, and his stud brother who's dying father's last request is that one of them gets married. So the Stud brother gets married and while on his honeymoon, (I think?) he croaks while getting laid. You see his wife's screams of ecstasy is enough to break glass, so glass shards falling on him from a mirrored ceiling does him in. (Believe it or not,funny,not) So, that leaves the nerdy son, and now I think the father's last request is that he gets laid 1st,and then gets married.(never explained that) Weird premise that gets boring fast.
He goes about trying to meet woman by way of strippers and escorts. One scene is where a stripper gives him a lap dance and the stripper actually goes into convulsions because she has some type of allergic reaction to his cologne.(This is the type of humor we are dealing with here) Then he tries to consult with an escort. The escort appears to be a washed up porn star who imitates a female Godmother to satirize the Godfather's famous Don Corleone. Yup, very dumb and again painfully not funny.
Oh yea, there is nothing funny about seeing an elderly woman fall down a flight of stairs! So as she lays at the foot of the stairs, her family just ignores her, and goes about their business cracking bad jokes with out anyone helping her. I found this to be very disturbing even though they were trying for some type of slapstick humor (I think they were going for a Naked Gun type humor here,and it's not even remotely close)
There seemed to be many scenes with old time Italian actors just thrown in there because they are Italian and really do nothing to help this sad movie. When Joe Piscopo came on as the nerdy boy's mentor, I just bagged it, I had enough.(Maybe its me, but has Joe Piscopo ever made a good movie or even been the slightest bit funny since his old SNL days?) I gave this stinker a 2.0!
