Mindless spot filler, completely forgettable. I remember seeing 3 episodes, it says they produced 8, but I have a difficult time believing 8 episodes ever aired, anywhere, the fact Garrett got as big as he did on Everybody Loves Raymond, and this remains unknown is a testament to just how bad it is, I bet Garrett himself wanted to keep this a secret, the one redeeming positive on this show, and there was only one, was Brandy Gold of the Gold sisters, who stuck out like a sore thumb as her acting was so far above the others it was almost sad to watch, kind of sad she seemed to vanish around the time of this show.

How did this happen?
25 October 2021
As a youth, I was constantly trolling the C-Band for any nudity I could find, I knew all the good ones from about 80 till 88, and many of the raunchy comedy's were mainly providing one thing to the viewer, and it wasn't laughs, I remember this movie came on and right off the bat it opens up with a cheesy porno sounding song, and boobs, immediately, but this movie didn't use boobs like most of these movies, this movie and the people who made it, seeing I never heard of one actor or actress in this, couldn't even pull off good nudity, the fact I don't remember one part of this movie I found funny, even as a horny 10 year old, even Fraternity Vacation had stuff I found amusing as a kid, like I don't even know if this was a comedy, I thought it was, but it's like the most mundane, stone faced literally no thought inducing garbage possibly ever, and I have seen some trash, whoever wrote this obviously put zero thought or effort into it, and then on top of that, they screwed the nudity up, how is that possible? IDK but it is, and they did, I'm sure this will never see any type of current format, so if you just gotta see this, hunt down the VHS,but you might as well just sit and count to 1000 or watch air, cause it will be more mentally stimulating.

Ultra white trash movie only certain sense of humor will pick up on

Warning: Spoilers
When I stumbled onto HBO after hooking it up myself one night, I tried my ass off to watch Oz, Flypaper was starting, really if you begin watching from the start, I really don't understand how just the opening scene alone wouldn't keep 90% of viewers watching, because SPOILERS!! when your opening a movie, nobody knows anything about, with 2 kids obviously pissing a man in a car off behind them, then pulling off the road, lighting his car on fire, then diving through the front windshield and burning to his death, while 2 little kids on bikes just watch, those who felt zero interest after that, are the kinds that think movies like anything that wins Oscars are good, people who vote awards to movies that are 4 hrs long and normal people must do meth before watching cause they cant stay awake through them, that opening scene was all I needed, and since that night, Flypaper is one of my all time favs, all these morons on here bashing it, saying it doesn't go anywhere, they are all either sub or to high of intelligence, no you gotta actually know the life this movie is showing, its not just a bunch of people pulp fiction style path crossing, nope, these are good old red blooded American white trash tales, daily lives, of meth addicts, crooks, cheating business men, and basically just every kind of white middle American drug addicted piece of shiz losers u encounter in places like Ogden Utah, Phoenix, Albuquerque, Little Rock, etc. and really the actors play their parts so well, u begin to question if they to are even acting, as they seem way to good to be merely pretending their roles, who absolutely takes this show and stands high on a pedestal is the outstanding acting and character of local businessman John C McGinley, one of my favs anyway, between McGinley and Sheffer you start sympathizing for them, even though, they are both out and out just scum,bags, who fit perfectly into the cast of all the other scumbags, who are all fulfilling an agenda of some sort, but u get the feeling they all know each other, except for the couple who are met into each other by the rest of the cast, they are all crooks, they are all up to no good, and McGinley absolutely steals the entire movie as the philandering, unfaithful husband to be, whose fiancé is so sure he's a cheater, she's going to hire Dane Cook (in his 1st movie) to set him up, and after McGinley, takes line hook bait, what ensues for him from then on, right up to the end of the movie, is nothing but pure hilarity, and bad bad ju ju, McGinley, is probably one of the most underrated actors out there, after watching him play the psychotic kidnapper in that little mini series that they wont release on DVD, anyone who doubts his acting ability is just a cheesedikson, if your not addicted to this movie on McGinley, alone by the end, your an idiot, and who cares about Lucy Lu? seriously I didn't even care when i first saw this, i was like oh Lucy Lu's getting banged, oh wow she has breasts, wow, now when Sadie Frost gets banged by Shane Brolly, now that's a bang and nothing in any part of Lucy Lu seen even comes close to it, the entire undertone to this movie is a day in the life of a bunch of white street trash, those who know, clearly understand it, most probably do not, there is no attempt at Pulp Fiction here, though to people who don't know, I can see why you'd believe that, this movie is only funny in a sick sad criminal way, there are no truly humorous, or comedic lines written for this movie, all the humor is ironic to each situation, most anyone can probably relate to McGinley, situation, which is why if your going to even attempt to watch this, his problems are probably the only ones you'll get, and he steals the show with them, Sheffer I have to say counter carries this movie, playing a piece of scum junkie, who along with his partner just drive around and rob meth labs, Sheffer really plays the role of a human who's been exposed to the chemicals of meth a little to long, and he plays it to a Tee, but you see, unless you have known a person like this, how could you relate, this movie is a cult movie, relating only to a very small demo of Americans, that's why nobody's seen it, and those who do rarely get it, if you are part of the scene, you watch this, and you'll instantly understand it, if not, you'll just see a pulp fiction rip off and a whole bunch of stories about a bunch of people that don't seem to make sense or really come to an ending, and that's really all there is to this great movie, either way I don't see how anyone could not be entertained by it,plenty of filth, crime, murder, drug use, sex, nudity, profanity, bestiality dialogue, and much much more stuff that nobody in their right mind would ever pass as appropriate, but if you are offended by that stuff, and your a lame, yeah you probably should go check out the Pat Dempsey movie that couldn't even produce an original title, cause this one is only for the true Americans
Man Bites Dog

Awesome, Everybody has blown this movie so out of proportion, it's sick
5 February 2006
And with all the reading and comments and all together talk around it, I was pretty much ready to break down and buy it, just to see it, I mean these foreign movies become almost like an enigma,2 or 3 go straight to the top of my must see list, but I found this DVD at a video store by my house, my expectations got thrown way off, my interpretation of it, is completely opposite of what I was expecting, it's almost like cartoon violence, it's in black and white, I mean don't get me wrong about this movie, it is what it is, it's innovative and flippant odd minded movie, the simple but clever plot is what triggered my curiosity the first time I ever read about it,
I'm American, and not at all familiar with any of the actors in this movie, so my all around viewing of it was very unbiased, in that regard, The actor who play's Ben, is just unreal, way to convincing of the part,the serial killer.
I was expecting to see some of the most violent unthinkable acts, I'd ever seen, according to the reviews, I was gonna have to watch it in segments!!!! because I would be so overwhelmed by the acts of violence, I would just simply break.
Considering what kind of territory could have been dabbled in with regards to the plot alone, I think this is a very well constructed violent masterpiece, but! it's, NOT GORY!!!!!!!!! thats what is so misleading with all of this B.S. on the message board, the way Ben goes on about his business is genius, and the very substance of Ben and all around him, is just to realistic feeling to provoke anything bad to say about this movie, Remy plays to Ben, like a kid would if he were shooting a film, on let's say, Kobe Bryant, or Stone Cold Steve Austin, etc. I mean he's so enthralled and captivated by the actions of Ben, it's almost like he really is, with almost an unreal chemistry these actors have, Remy is so solid in his role of selling and convincing you he's the kid. "getting taken down the wrong path", I thought that was what was a little bit disturbing, it's like Ben is secretly his god, he idolizes everything Ben does, but serial killing isn't something you can really voice your enthusiasm over, so the whole playing it down scheme was also done to perfection, I recommend this movie to anybody that thinks for themselves, this wouldn't work in Hollywood for the simple fact that it's just way to much of a good thing, but come on, it's a very disturbing and violent movie, and definitely not for everybody, but the violence is given to you with disturbing scenarios, and almost no gore, It's a Masterpiece.
