Any of you ever seen this John Leguizamo movie? If you think Super Mario Bros. is a bad Leguizamo movie, this makes Super Mario Bros. look like Schindler's List. Poor co-star Jeffrey Jones must have really needed the money/work.

Maltin Movie Guide Review:

1.5 out of 4 stars

"In a manic performance that makes Jim Carrey look like Ben Kingsley, Leguizamo plays a con artist with a unique talent for transforming himself into just about every type of persona. Soon he finds himself pursued by a variety of whacked-out bad guys. Poor showcase for star/cowriter Leguizamo."

God help you if you can even get through the opening intro.

	I haven't even begun to let my imagination loose on this one.

It plays like a misguided attempt at making a live-action Bugs Bunny cartoon.

Based on the old O' Henry short story that has been filmed before, both better and sadly worse.

He goes from T2 and Speed to The Pest, Speed 2 and Blues Brothers 2000.
