The script and Leguizamo's talents don't mesh, so the actor comes off as more offensive than funny.

There is not a socioeconomic, political, ethnic or gender group that is left unoffended.

Talented and versatile actor-comedian John Leguizamo indulges himself so totally with incessant mugging, mimicking and all-around showing off that he begins to wear out his welcome before the opening credit sequence is over.

Top CriticEssentially a collection of ethnic and bodily function jokes punctuated by chases.

It's the kind of movie where every paying customer deserves to receive a handwritten apology from the producers.

Top CriticThis film is utterly without discipline or focus in a way that -- to one's shame --one eventually finds oddly endearing.

Top CriticQuick, someone find a no-pest strip - or even a fly swatter or a good bug spray.

By their nature, pests are meant to get under your skin and this one certainly does.

A revoltingly bad stinker that is easily in the running for the worst film of the decade.

Obviously, someone must have told Leguizamo he's a comic genius. Whoever did that isn't his friend.
