In this comedy, a mob boss forces struggling musicians Sam
Rockwell and Steve Zahn to crack safes. Also with Mark Ruffalo, Josh Pais, Paul Giamatti,
Michael Lerner, Harvey Fierstein, Christina Kirk and Michael Schmidt. [1:29]
SEX/NUDITY 2 - Sexual innuendo (including a reference to prostitution). A
man and woman kiss in one scene. We briefly see two men in their underwear and a woman in
a short robe.
VIOLENCE/GORE 3 - Someone is punched in the face and another is elbowed in
the stomach. Two people punch each other's arms several times, two people tackle a man and
someone pushes two people's heads together and threatens them. To "psych-up,"
two people shove each other and one slaps the other's forehead. A person is thrown against
a wall a few times during what looks like a wrestling match. It's implied that someone
knocks out two others with a crowbar; we later see them bound face to face with tape.
Several verbal death threats. Off-screen, someone apparently bursts into flames (the scene
is filmed as comical rather than violent).
PROFANITY 9 - Nearly 40 F-words, a lot of anatomical references (including
one clinical reference), scatological references and insults, and some mild obscenities. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Mistaken identities, robbery, organized crime, bar mitzvahs,
low self-esteem, relationship break-ups.
MESSAGE - Thieves can have a tender side.
