Advertised under the tagline 'Larceny, lust and lunacy', this star-studded vehicle for TV star Jason Alexander (who also directed it) is a lightweight laugh that never quite hits the target. The film made a mint in the States where Alexander became a big name in the Seinfeld series, but its British premiere on TV at 3.30 in the morning shows what Channel 4 thought were the chances of you watching it. If you do like Alexander, though, the odds are you'll enjoy his antics as a a luckless loser whose life gets even worse when his criminal brother (played with relish by James Woods) turns up like a bad penny. Sharp eyes will spot Oscar-nominated tot Haley Joel Osment as Danny.
