    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.

    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.

    Directed by Andrei Konchalovsky, whose concept of subtlety most people would mistake for a sledge hammer or pneumatic drill.
