Me & The Mob Reviews: A "Comedy" Without Laughs  2009-06-06 - i watched this movie only because I like Sandra Bullock. Not even Sandra Bullock in black underwear could save this movie, however. As noted by the previous reviewer, Sandra's part in the movie lasted only about 3 minutes and the "sex" scene appeared unconvincing and had no point in the movie. The movie is about an unsuccessful writer, whose manuscripts come from outlandish conspiracy plots fed to him by Steve Buscemi. However, again, like the previous reviewer noted, if you go to the kitchen at the wrong time you will completely miss Buscemi's cameo appearance. Frustrated, the writer joins his uncle who is in the mob, believing he can get first-hand material for a book. He is arrested and made to "wear a wire" in an effort to get evidence on one of the head mob figures. He is discovered, almost killed, and when he does get evidence the police are no longer interested because the task force investigating the mob has run out of funding. The last scene has the potential to be funny, as the "writer," his uncle, and another mobster are reduced to trying to cheat little old ladies at a church bingo game. As they are beatn by the elderly bingo players, the scene is so poorly done, it even fails to be funny.
Avoid at all costs  2008-02-02 - There really should be an option to give a movie zero stars, because this movie deserves it. There are literally no redeeming qualities. The film was supposedly made in 1992, but the picture quality looks more like 1972. The box cover shows Steve Buscemi, but he's only in it for about 30 seconds (and doesn't look anything like he does on the box cover). The box cover also shows Sandra Bullock, but she's only in it for about 3 minutes (and she, too, doesn't look anything like she does on the box cover). She did what has to be one of (if not the) worst sex scenes in film history. I would be extremely surprised if she wasn't embarrassed and ashamed at having done this film.
The film is extremely boring. I turned it off after 45 minutes and came back to it a few days later, forcing myself (against my better judgment) to watch it, partly out of some morbid curiosity, and partly because I had the notion that it had to get better. Unfortunately, it didn't. When it was over, I cursed myself for buying it simply because it claimed to star Sandra Bullock and Steve Buscemi.
Do yourself a favor and avoid this film at all costs. Even at 4.99, it's a waste of movie. I've never gotten rid of a CD or DVD after I purchased it, but I just may change with this purchase.
