    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      James Gandolfini is only a year older than Aida Turturro, who plays his faux-daughter in the film. Also, his other daughter is played by Mary-Louise Parker, who is in fact merely three years younger than him.
    • Goofs
      When Nick first comes into the house toward the beginning of the movie, his daughter's band is playing outside. When he shuts the front door, the music volume does not change. It should become more muffled with the door shut.
    • Quotes

      Nick Murder: Would you give me one more chance? Please? I'll do anything! Anything! I'll give you anything! I love you. Maybe I don't know how to show it like they do in the movies or in books but I love. I have love to give.

    Dancing garbagemen?
    Tough to come up with a title for this since "What A Mess" was already taken. This movie set the world record for most wasted talent and you cannot blame anyone but John Turturo since he both wrote and directed it. I would explain the plot but I have no idea what the plot was or the point of the whole exercise. I will say this, there is some good music in the film from James Brown, Harvey and the Moonglows, Janis Joplin and Dusty Springfield so there are a few enjoyable moments, but if that does not interest you do not waste your time. It is very likely that you will look at the cast and say to yourself "I really like so and so, I think I'll take a chance." Don't do it.
