I have to say, I never expected this to be even watchable but was pleasantly surprised by the writing and quirk quotient. The lead, unknown to me, was decent enough and the cast proved to be very entertaining. The narrative isn't anything too unique (fish out of water succeeds),but the story is engaging enough to make you care about the protagonist and stick with it. The payoff to me are mostly the scenes with Michael Rapaport and Jay R. Ferguson who bring a hilarious bizarro edge to the story. One thing this film deserved was a better ending, not to give anything away, but it is fairly anticlimactic.

Sammy Lagucci is a lovable loser who just wants to do right by his daughter. When he finds out the gangsters he runs with are planning to take him out, he enters the Witness Protection program to protect himself and his family. Going from The Big Apple to a small town in Wisconsin gets him down at first, but on a dare he does an impromptu stand-up comedy routine and finds he has a knack for it. His act goes viral, and what should be a blessing turns into a curse when his newfound fame gets the attention of the mob.

Better than expected
Funny
That was hilariously funny. I was shocked. Had me laughing the whole time. I was high as heck though.
Was this a tax write off?
In all respects this was horrible. B-grade actors who never had a starring role in any movie or HBO special, dialogue that was just that far below being memorable, location shots and then just bad backyard actual locations that made for anyone to know it was just sad and pathetic.
The movie should really have been called "When you think of making a movie and you have a couple hundred bucks".
The B-grade actors must have been doing someone a favor to appear in this dung.
The movie production values screamed that it was made with a handycam. The actors looked bored and as if they were wondering why they were asked to say the horrible lines. Nothing about the piece was believable.
Please, producers, before you decide to fund your cousins' latest project because your mom said to do it, think of your reputation.
