As I've stated many times before comedy is extremely subjective so bear that in mind as you watch this film.Brad and Julia and James play their parts with gusto and at times are very funny but also just dumb at others.The plot is silly and the parallels to Rashomon even more so.Julia plays a neurotic and Brad a dumb male blond and James a gay killer with a little cupid in him.The Mexican is a pistol that carries a history told depending on view points like the classic film Rashomon.Still I did laugh enough to enjoy it once.Two stars off because I hoped for more given the cast.Below the pix is the trailer URL as well as a IMDB summary.Released in 2001 it runs a little long at 123 minutes.
Jerry Welbach is given two ultimatums. His mob boss wants him to travel to Mexico to get a priceless antique pistol called "The Mexican" or he will suffer the consequences. The other ultimatum comes from his girlfriend Samantha, who wants him to end his association with the mob. Jerry figures that being alive, although in trouble with his girlfriend is the better alternative so he heads south of the border. Finding the pistol is easy but getting it home is a whole other matter. The pistol supposedly carries a curse - a curse Jerry is given every reason to believe, especially when Samantha is held hostage by the gay hit man Leroy to ensure the safe return of the pistol.
