This movie caught me off guard when I first saw it !!! I never knew Ray Romano and Kevin James made a movie together !!...and that they swore a lot(especially Kevin - he really like to use those words a lot), so I got interested in this movie , just to catch Ray and Kevin talking like that and playing characters not like their TV roles!!! So as I got caught up into the movie , I then discovered this gorgeous creature(Sofi'a) with this accent that she uses to "seduce" with her sexy looks and the sexy movement of her hot body !!!! Unfortunately I can understand why this movie went straight to video , for me , I enjoyed Sofi'a's seducing scenes but her part came during the middle part of the movie....and there's a surprise that caught me off guard with Sofi'a's character "Loridonna" !!! Anyway the beginning of the movie starts off slow but interesting to watch Ray and Kevin work off each other in a different type of comedy for them. And after Sofi'a's scenes the movie slows down again,but a cameo by Burt Reynolds gets pretty interesting.

This turkey was shown recently on Comedy Central, which is ironic because, well, there's not much comedy in this movie. I saw this after it came out to video when my sister rented it.Kevin James & Ray Romano play meat salesmen out to make the big sale and get involved in a bizarre situation with a couple of mob hit men who kill the guy they are trying to sell meat to. Then, instead of trying to escape with their lives, they try to sell meat to the hit men! After escaping from the trunk of their car and fleeing for their lives, what do they do? They finally make the big sale! There. I saved you a couple hours of your life. You won't really care how the movie ends. I didn't, just wanted it to get over with so I could watch something else.This movie really has no point, the acting is stiff & boring, and the awkward overuse of profanity will disappoint anyone expecting to see the lovable king of Queens and Raymond. There really isn't much of a plot, no humor, and the characters are one-dimensional. If James & Romano think that movies like this will be their big leap to the big screen, well then, everybody will hate Raymond.

I liked this film, I really did! My girlfriend rented it one night (knowing that I am a big fan of 'King of Queens', with Kevin James, and 'Everbody Loves Raymond', with Ray Romano), and at first I was a little sceptical! From past experiences, straight to D.V.D releases have burned a hole in my eyes, with bad acting, bad direction etc, but this film had a certain charm to it! I must admit, the rebel in me loved hearing Kevin James curse like a angry hillbilly, and Ray Romano looked like a real bad ass with that beard (my girlfriends opinion), and Julliete Lewis done a great job as a crazy drunk bitch, I don't think she had to act much though;) Burt Renoylds, even though he was in a small part of the film oozed all the class, and coolness you would expect from him! Although you would expect it to be a comedy with two comedians playing the leading roles, it was more of a drama, with funny parts thrown in for good measure! Kevin James and Ray Romano actually 'act', instead of doing silly dances and complaining about their parents, they do a pretty good job at playing desperate salesmen (being in sales, I could relate to their predicament), I am not going to give away the plot/ending, because I didn't know anything about this movie before I watched it, and I really think you should watch with a open mind!! All in all, I would recommend this film to anybody who has nothing better to do than sit in with your girlfriend, drink beer and eat pizza...........what a perfect night!!!

Ray Romano is hilarious. Kevin James is hilarious. Put the two together and you get a hilarious movie, right? Not exactly. This was just not the right movie for either of them. None of the real-life comedy of Everybody Loves Raymond. None of the charm of Hitched. Just a couple of funny guys not being funny. It was really just kind of sad.The plot was weak. The situations weren't believable. The characters weren't interesting and the comedy was too dark. Both these actors are at their best when they're lovable doofuses. I didn't like either of these guys. I wanted them to lose.If you choose to check this movie out anyway, be prepared for a dark comedy. Be prepared for these actors to play characters you wouldn't expect.Hope this doesn't discourage them from trying again. They could be really excellent together.
