The message behind the film is rather mean-spirited... Plus, a misplaced brothel scene with one of the scariest prostitutes ever committed to film makes it a chore to watch.

Reviews for Homer and Eddie
Directed by Andrei Konchalovsky, whose concept of subtlety most people would mistake for a sledge hammer or pneumatic drill.
There's a deep sense of desperation in Homer and Eddie, its stars clawing at the screen in hopes of reminding the audience that hey, we're not just comedians.
