Despite some funny visual gags, this is one of DiCillo's disappointing comedies, also suffering from an unappealing turn from Elizabeth Hurley.

Perhaps if DiCillo's last two pictures weren't so clever, Double Whammy would stand on its individual merits a little more stably.

Nothing particularly exciting or boring about this movie.

It doesn't always mesh perfectly, but DiCillo is working with a broad palette and his ability to mix comedy and drama is shown at full effect.

Tries too hard, forcing off-the-wall dialogue where it doesn't belong.

Certainly not a great film, but very underrated. I thought it was very funny. Offbeat, but very funny.

Tom DiCillo's "Double Whammy" is certainly not a "great" film, but it has an offbeat sense of humor and a clever script.
