This comedy focuses on Joey O'Brien, a proud car salesman who, however, needs to sell twelve cars in twenty-four hours to keep his job. To make matters worse, her love life is in chaos, with several lovers and girlfriends, plus an ex-wife with a missing teenage daughter, probably running away with a boyfriend. Can things get worse? They can... on the day he had to sell like he never sold, the jealous and stupid husband of one of the store clerks decides to kidnap everyone until he discovers the identity of his wife's alleged lover.
This is the typical non-sense comedy, where everything is crazy and all the characters are histrionic and stereotyped. Everyone shouts, everyone behaves in a half-insane way and there's really no character in this movie that really pays off or befriends us. This includes the main character, who is the typical smart guy, a trickster who thinks he gets away easily from all the problems he gets into. This will cause serious problems to us to like this movie.
Another problem here is the lack of humor. With the exception of a few good jokes from Robin Williams and some situational humor, this is not the kind of movie that makes us cry with laughter. The remaining cast doesn't stand out nor deserve positive mention, with the exception of Tim Robbins, who seemed to do an interesting job in the role of the jealous idiot husband.
In short, this film is highly histrionic, absolutely insane, full of screaming people and a weak and misdirected cast. It's a long way from being a good movie.
