Black comedy starring Bruce Willis, Matthew Perry and Rosanna Arquette. Just when highly strung dentist Oz Oseransky thinks life can't deal him any more blows, he gets notorious hitman Jimmy Tudeski for a neighbour. To their mutual surprise, however, the pair become friends and things are going swimmingly - until Oz's money-grabbing wife persuades him to betray Jimmy to a ruthless crime family.
Friends star Matthew Perry made another bid for big-screen stardom in this limp black comedy from British director Jonathan Lynn (Yes, Minister, My Cousin Vinny). Perry plays the humble, henpecked dentist who's none too chuffed to discover that Mafia iceman Jimmy "The Tulip" Tudeski (Bruce Willis) has just bought a house in his dull Montreal neighbourhood. At the instigation of his shrewish wife (Rosanna Arquette), Perry rats on Jimmy to Chicago crime boss Kevin Pollak, only to find himself up to his eyeteeth in trouble. The cast includes The Green Mile's Michael Clarke Duncan and Species star Natasha Henstridge. But the farce is too forced, the humour too broad and the end result a far cry from such superior hitman comedies as Prizzi's Honor and Grosse Pointe Blank.
