Plot: A guy eager to leave some bad luck behind unexpectedly walks into a series of disasters in this comedy. Dino Condito (Carmine Famiglietti) has been persona non grata in his neighborhood in Queens ever since he flubbed a crucial play that cost his softball team the league championship against Hoboken. Months later, Dino is still the butt of jokes and he's losing all confidence in himself, so his cousin, Jubilene (Joseph Summa), decides to help him out. Cashing in his savings, Jubilene surprises Dino with a vacation in Cancun, Mexico, that he's convinced will lift his spirits. Unfortunately, a luggage mix-up at an airport in Mexico makes Dino and Jubilene the target of a handful of local gangsters and corrupt soldiers. Soon, the guys are being chased from one end of the country to the other and end up in all kinds of trouble before word gets back to their crew in Queens that their buddies need to be rescued. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

classic Italian low budget comedy

This film is a must see with your "crew"
It's hilarious and the characters are spot on with the neighborhoods on the East Coast.

I love Kiwi the dog, and the two lead actors are great together.
If you just want to forget your worries and get lost in the "neighborhood" see this movie!

A good time flick!

This isn't Fellini. Its spaghetti bolognese, low budget, cute, and funny. These characterizations are dead on as anyone from the East Coast knows. A good time flick.

I almost never write reviews but this one is so bad that I felt I had to. The idea of the movie has potential to be hilariously funny or a great suspense movie; what I watched was neither. The story jumps around from place to place so fast missing key details that you almost feel lost at times. None of the actors do any good making the story believable. The acting was so forced at times that I felt like I was watching a very bad play. If ramdom people were picked off of the street you would get higher quality acting. From the very first "Mexican" scene on I was caught up in how over the top fake it was. The camera is never even held steady. The only descent job done in this movie was by the dog, although I never really understood why the dog was such a major part of the plot.

This movie reminds me of a bunch of kids getting their parents video camera and trying to shoot a movie. It's just that bad. If I could have gave it 0 stars I would have.

It helps that my friend Paola is a lead in the film ;-). I guess I'm biased, but I loved it.

Great direction!

I saw this movie in new york at least a year ago, granted I did have several cocktails prior to seeing it, but it was hilarious. Explosions and stunt scenes were brilliantly directed. It does drag in some spots, mainly in parts featuring the rat of a dog, thus I gave it 4 stars.
