this be a comedy version of stranger on a train . it work pretty well . i be a harsh grader and so the 3 rating reflect mostly on the character and plot . the performance be extremely good and all of them . of course and the two star and devito and crystal and shine most . each performer act well enough to play off of . the comedy work in a level just short of slapstick . devito character work best when deprave . his character and portray a a writing hack and would probably be more real if he be publish and laud as much a most hack be . his character would and in real life and have a great agent and multiple solicitation . the character be one dimensional and which be okay in comedy . but crystal character be not write very well . his desire to kill the moma all of a sudden make no sense at all . it look like a pitiful attempt at humor . the pitiful attempt be not too often and and the movie flow fairly well .
