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.

Essentially 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.

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