Summary: Stars Lorinz and Darrow Steal the Show in "Me and the Mob"
Review: James Lorinz and Tony Darrow, stars of the cult classic, "Street Trash," are back with their own brand of pseudo-vaudevillian comedy, in this quasi-comical tale of a failed writer's (Lorinz) relationship with his crooked Uncle (Darrow). Perhaps the only thing better than the comic banter between Lorinz and Darrow is a cameo by then un-known actress, Sandra Bullock, in a sex scene that has to be seen to be believed. Co-produced by Roy Frumkes, the same person credited (some say "responsible") for "Street Trash," the film has its moments (mostly supplied by its dynamite leads), but soon dissolves into a series of disjointed, painfully un-funny scenarios that will leave the viewer more than a bit bleary eyed. Perhaps the writers simply ran out of ideas, which is a shame, because the story itself is fairly inventive. Lorinz and Darrow have both seen better days, most notably Darrow, who has performed bit parts in the last four Woody Allen pictures. If only this kind of success could have been applied to the film itself.

Summary: This dud has its moments.
Review: Okay, this is a really bad movie. That said, there are some moments here that are so over-the-top bad that they're funny. The fake accents are so horrible that they become campy and the now notorious love scene involving Sandra Bullock is outright hilarious...and very embarassing. How she could be making love without removing a single garment is a mystery, but the acting in that scene is ridiculous, as well. However, it is certainly memorable. Sandra Bullock shows up for another short scene later in the film, but her role is essentially a throw away part. Then there is the sudden appearance of notable actor Steve Buscemi at the very beginning of the film in which he seems almost ashamed to be in. His character never returns to the story after that. By the end of the film there are so many plot twists that heartfelt boredom ensues. The acting is bad, the budget is obviously low, and the script, which invokes the occasional giggle, is a quivering mass of bulbous drivel. Avoid this film.

Summary: The Mob should put out a hit on this movie
Review: Sandra Bullock and James Lorinz should both be ashamed to be seen in this movie.I couldn't believe what she did in her sex scene. She must have been really desperate for rent money to agree to do that on film. I will admit that there are a few funny scenes,but not enough to be worth buying the movie. It's filled with bad mobster dialogue and a plot that goes nowhere. Any Anthony Michael Hall fans that want to see this movie because he's listed as being in it, don't bother. You'll see his name in the credits and the top of his head for one split second (if you don't blink during that scene), that's it. Any part he had in it wound up on the cutting room floor (and I'll bet he's happy about that!), which is where the rest of it belongs.

Summary: Hilarious
Review: This film has to be seen to be believed. It's so bad, it's funny. You've got a bunch of guys prancing around, sticking their chests out, thinking their big hard guys, and then they open their mouths, and horror of horrors, out comes these incredible phoney, gangster accents.

And worst of all is Sandra Bullock. I hope none of the big Hollywood directors who have worked with her, decided to have her in their movie thanks to this. She's dreadful. Her hair is an immediate distraction, due to the severe HUGENESS of it. She must have gone through a couple of hairspray for this. But what's worse is the main scene she's in, is a sex scene. And it's bad. Really bad. Worse than the one in Fire On The Amazon. It's very over the top. Plus, what she does, would probably hurt the guy, as well as her! And she wears some very unflattering underwear, which do nothing for her skinny figure.

Overall this film is bad. Bad bad bad. I cannot stress this enough. Thank God Sandra began to star in some GOOD films, rather than this. What I want to know is who did she have to sleep with, to get to the big Hollywood A-list star she is today?
