As a stand-up comedian, Clay's repertoire was minimal. On a movie screen, it's insufferable.

Gets stale after a while, but Dice was still pretty funny.

As vulgar and obnoxious as its star. One of the very worst films of 1990.

Look at the star. Look at the director. See something else.

Funny in a south side of Chicago neighborhood kind of way, but not much more than his stand-up act.
