Summary: How can you not laugh at that........
Review: If you're a fan of movies like Very Bad Things, Clay Pigeons, and Grosse Point Blank or atleast have a decent sense of humor and can handle a bit of bad taste in the name of good humor, then here's one more winner for you. Admittedly, this is not the best work of any of the "known" actors involved, but is a comedy ever where you expect the academy award for best actor to shine. Watch the movie because you're looking to laugh and just let it out as the heads roll. I'm still waiting for a release on DVD....

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: not great but not bad
Review: Joe Pesci, David Spade, and Todd Louiso are the ones who keep this movie interesting and funny. Oh, and the lady who plays the grandmother. Everyone else seems be going through a "bad acting" virus. Veterans George Hamilton and Dyan Cannon just seem like they'e only doing this movie because work for them is hard to come by these days. And who is that John Cusack wannabe who is the star of the movie? This movie would have better off with the real John Cusack. But joe, David, and Todd provide all the comic relief for this dark comedy.
The movie is about a duffel bag switch at the airport, one of which contains 8 heads being delivered for the mob. That says it all right there.
In some stores, this dvd is available for a very good price. If you find it at one of those stores, I definitely recommend this dvd. Fans of Joe Pesci will also be impressed with this dvd.

Summary: don't waste your time
Review: Like another reviewer said - this should be funny. At times it almost gets to be funny but at no point, i repeat, at no point is it ever actually funny. This is a waste of a good hour and a half of your life. Don't rent it, try something else instead. The story is infantile, the direction pitiful and the acting is piss poor. This is the director's first effort so do both him and yourself a favour and skip this flick. I'm sure this particular director can do better and the less people who see this movie the better for him!

Summary: First she sees a mouse---Now she sees heads
Review: Some people are good at words. Other people are good at facial expressions. But Dyan Cannon takes the cake when it comes to being hysterical (in more ways than one.) The first time I saw her this was way, was in Heaven Can Wait (1978) ASIN: 6305495238, where she saw a mouse and relives it. Now She is a recovering alcoholic and tries to convince her husband that see saw a head in a dufflbag.

George Hamilton gets to play cool and conservative like the part he played in Doc Hollywood (1991) ASIN: 6305133468. However one of the highlights of the movie is when he is confronted by the Mexican authorities. Have you seen those Garfield cats that stick in car windows?

There are also lessons on recycling and laundering.

You need to head out and buy this film. After all 8 heads are better than...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Some kind of bad.
Review: This film is like nails on a blackboard. Not one smart thing about it. It was marketed as a dark comedy along the lines of "Pulp Fiction," but it's more on the level of "Private Resort." Grindingly unfunny.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pessi is Marvelous
Review: This light hearted look at the world of a hit man is hilarious. Of course it helps if you have an east coast backround; the language and mannerisms are right on. If you want a smile and like Joe Pessi, you'll love this movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Zany Underrated Comedy
Review: This movie received a lot of grief for its total uninhibited irreverence. But if its irreverence doesn't offend you, you can find it a quite pleasing little comic gem. It's about all the misadventures of an American student visiting Mexico when his duffel bag accidently gets switched with another that was sent to verify a mob hit. Confusion and intrigue reign supreme as both parties desperately scramble to undo the mix-up. If you like this kind of comedy watch and enjoy. But if you find it cruelly offensive, don't say I didn't warn you!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie was incredibly funny!
Review: This movie was incredibly funny! Excellent acting and a superb plot. I give it 5 stars. This is a must see!

Summary: 8 Heads, Not 1 Laugh
Review: This should have been very funny. This should have been "Weekend at Bernie's" with a real edge. Instead, this worse than those 1960's live action Disney movies with Dean Jones or Sandy Duncan or better yet- a WB sitcom. The basic story is silly enough, but there is not one laugh in this whole film. The cast tries much too hard to wring a smile out of the material, but the writer resorts to trotting out clicheed old characters like the grandma who smokes and cusses and the two really dumb mob guys. Considering the talent involved, this is one of the worst films of all time. On a side note, if you are from Mexico, do not watch this unless you are looking to be offended.
