As vulgar and obnoxious as its star. One of the very worst films of 1990.

Look at the star. Look at the director. See something else.

Gets stale after a while, but Dice was still pretty funny.

Funny in a south side of Chicago neighborhood kind of way, but not much more than his stand-up act.

As a stand-up comedian, Clay's repertoire was minimal. On a movie screen, it's insufferable.
