I love Bobcat in this movie, he's funny as usual, but the rest of the cast is just okay. I liked this movie, but it could have been better, it's pretty cheesy at times.

Whoopi Goldberg always makes a film more interesting. The material in this movie is below her caliber. The story does wear thin after about 45 minutes, and Bob Goldthwaite is so annoying. There are fun moments along the way though.

This movie was absolutely the best!

"I gotta stop doing this shit!"

"Hi, this is you know who and I'm not you know where, so leave a message after the you know what..."

"Ol' you got to do is find us a buyer..."

"I'm a black man in a white man's world!" ("Sir you are caucasian...") "Throw that in my face why don't you!"

"What are you doing? Don't touch me!"

"I was looking for Ranita Mo De..."

"I would like four Black Russians...Can I just actually get a bucketf of 'em."

Not too bad of a fllm, Whoopi Goldberg stars as a former burglar who is being blackmailed by a cop to get back into the business and later on stumbles across a murder. A great cast including G.W. Bailey, Bobcat Goldthwait, and Lesley Ann Warren.

Being a Whoopi Goldberg fan I loved this movie. I've watched this one about a thousand times. I just like the feel and the look about this film. A cool movie to sit down and watch. Quite entertaining!

This is my fav movie of all time. It has everything...action...brilliant comedy...and of course, the great Whoopi herself.

There's lots of fun to be had with this rather entertaining vehicle for Whoopi Goldberg, who is supported nicely by Bobcat Goldthwait and G.W. Bailey.

I love it! It's my favorite cultfilm! It made me a Whoopie fan. Me and sis sees it every other year and are equally amused. It has a lot of little moments and some heart, some 80'es and some evergreen!

(* 1/2): Thumbs Down

It has some funny moments but it is more annoying and stupid than anything.
