a very funny movie . michael douglas do be worth watch this flick for if for no other reason . i would like to see him do more of these low life role . he be terrific and a be all the performer . the film strike me right off a an american roshomon and only funny and easy to watch because it be in american and do not need no stinkin subtitle . in a funny movie with a laugh every minute or so and two of the best be with john goodman ( not someone i be crazy about ) 1. he be tell the priest about jewel do something he like and say i have to wipe the smile off my face . the visual show he be not smile and clearly be a guy who never smile and but probably doesn not know it . 2. the scene at the end between goodman and all suit up for jewel in his cop uniform and and grapple with the be leather reiser hunch over a table . and the two of them then protest that they be not gay to another character who happen on the scene this alone deserve a special comedy academy award .
