This was really a bad movie. It looks like it was filmed using a Best Buy camcorder and lighting from Rent-All®. The "director" also starred in the movie. Some a**-hat (*=s) named Danny Provenzano. Never seen him and never want to again. He doesn't look Italian at all and has this strange, crooked face with huge flaring nostrils. Truly unsettling to look at. His acting is another story. It's just one cliché after another. He tries to act New York Italian but comes off like St. Paul, MN actor at the Eau De Claire Wisconsin Community Theatre trying his best to pull off Sonny from The Godfather. He's most likely making ends meet by giving those acting classes to the special needs kids (and I respect him from that) but he really shouldn't be staring in his own movie.
Now for that scene I mentioned in the title of my review. This one scene is enough for you "Awful Movie Fans" to perk up and head straight to Amazon or what ever dark hole of a rental store you can find this turd:
The scene happens at a Chinese restaurant. Four members of a crew led by Eau De Claire Community Theatre's favorite son Danny Provenzano (Character name: Nicky) are sitting around the table. "It's time to try those improvisation chops!" thinks Danny. So for no reason, his character starts telling a rediculous nonsensical story about a "6 foot 8 inch" man he and the mobster to his right had to kill. It's clearly improvised as seen on the faces of the other "Goombahs" around the table as Danny is talking. Danny finishes the first part of his just made-up story and looks to another actor to jump in adding to this improvised story. And oh he does - adding his own brand of improvisation. Now it's back to Eau De Claire Danny talking. He directly contradicts what he said earlier (it's HIS story!) and also mixes up the improvised part laid out by the other actor. This goes on for so so so long and it is so bad on so many levels. If anyone other than Eau De Claire Danny had directed the movie, it would have been left on the cutting room floor in its entirety. But there it is --- for all you lucky viewers to see. And see you must. So how bad is this movie? Think: Graveyard scene in Plan 9 and you'll get the idea!
