The casting is such a mystery that you could be forgiven for thinking the whole process was done by small ads in an LA trade paper.

The trouble is that Mr. Shelton and Mr. Souza don't do enough with the material to make it dramatically compelling.

'An irritating, disjointed mess that can never decide what kind of film it wants to be.'

Funny action comedy that pokes fun at cop detective buddy movies, the record business, New Age wackos, and just about everything else in Hollywood.
