Filipe Neto This comedy focuses on Joey O'Brien, a proud car salesman who, however, needs to sell twelve cars in twenty-four hours to keep his job. To make matters worse, her love life is in chaos, with several lovers and girlfriends, plus an ex-wife with a missing teenage daughter, probably running away with a boyfriend. Can things get worse? They can... on the day he had to sell like he never sold, the jealous and stupid husband of one of the store clerks decides to kidnap everyone until he discovers the identity of his wife's alleged lover.This is the typical non-sense comedy, where everything is crazy and all the characters are histrionic and stereotyped. Everyone shouts, everyone behaves in a half-insane way and there's really no character in this movie that really pays off or befriends us. This includes the main character, who is the typical smart guy, a trickster who thinks he gets away easily from all the problems he gets into. This will cause serious problems to us to like this movie.Another problem here is the lack of humor. With the exception of a few good jokes from Robin Williams and some situational humor, this is not the kind of movie that makes us cry with laughter. The remaining cast doesn't stand out nor deserve positive mention, with the exception of Tim Robbins, who seemed to do an interesting job in the role of the jealous idiot husband.In short, this film is highly histrionic, absolutely insane, full of screaming people and a weak and misdirected cast. It's a long way from being a good movie.

Mr. Vik I don't know how this movie ended up below 6 rating at IMDB but it's for sure it deserves at least above 6.8 rating once you're done with watching it.Movie on hostages are generally quite violence oriented, but this is slightly different story about love and relationship. All the characters in the movie did perform their job well. No dull acting at all. Tim Robbins did a pretty decent job on being the bad guy.Robin Williams had a major role in it of convincing and as usual he didn't disappoint us.I love the way the movies used to portrayed in the good old days. Oh God I love the 90s. Robin Williams, we will miss you and your incredible acting skills.

SnoopyStyle Joey O'Brien (Robin Williams) is a relentless car salesman. The car lot is moving and there will fewer sales jobs. He has two days to sell 12 cars to make an impression. He spends all of his money on the women in his life; ex-wife Tina (Pamela Reed), married woman Joy Munchack (Fran Drescher) and party girl Lila (Lori Petty). Then Larry (Tim Robbins) breaks in with a gun suspecting his wife Donna (Annabella Sciorra) is cheating with somebody in the car lot. Donna is grazed by a bullet. Joey tries to take the blame for an affair despite not sleeping with Donna. He tries to talk Larry down as the police surrounds them.Everything is wacky. Everybody is loud. They are all yelling. It is generally not funny except when Robin gets a few laughs with the help of Tim Robbins. I do not see Roger Donaldson as a funny director. It is trying to be Dog Day Afternoon but it does not have the gritty reality. Even the cops are deliberately loud. The police negotiator is one of the most antagonist negotiator in any movie. Everyone is deliberately set on edge and it does not make it funny.

MovieAddict2016 So-so comedy starring Robin Williams as a Cadillac dealer, whose shop is held hostage by maniac Tim Robbins. The film has a good premise, but takes over an hour to get to the hostage part, leaving about thirty minutes to squeeze in the actual humor. The rest of the movie is all about Williams' private life. Just not very funny, some very missed potential.2 of 5John Ulmer
