CGiii Comment

How can you assemble a fine cast and present them with a script that is as funny as a night in an extermination camp?

Tucci is the only person that can supply an answer...we like Stanley...as an actor!

Money has been thrown at this and none of it stuck.

Tucci is a decent, jobbing character actor. Stick to the day job - as a director you are not amply equipped.

A shambolic mess.

The(ir) Blurb...

In an attempt to resurrect the slapstick comedy of Laurel and Hardy or The Marx Brothers, Stanley Tucci and Oliver Platt team-up as two out-of-work actors who accidentally stowaway on a ship to hide from a drunken, belligerent lead actor who has sworn to kill them for belittling his talents. Of course, the lead actor end up on the ship as well. Also, a madman (Tony Shalhoub) plots the destruction of the ship and Steve Buscemi is a depressed, suicidal lounge singer named Happy Frank.
