Robin Williams is in his edgily desperate mode as a Queens car salesman whose life is in turmoil. He's fooling around with someone else's wife, his marriage is on the rocks, and he has to sell 12 cars in 12 days or he will lose his job. He's so desperate that he even tries to pitch a sale to a widow at a funeral. As if he didn't have enough problems, the crazed husband (Tim Robbins) of one of his coworkers bursts into the car show room with an automatic weapon and takes everyone hostage. His wife has been cheating on him (not with Williams) and he's ready to go postal unless he finds out who's been sleeping with her. It's up to Williams to try to keep everyone from getting killed. But as hard as Williams and Robbins work, they can't make this film more than sporadically funny--and that's only because Williams is at his most spritzingly frenetic. --Marshall Fine

Rating:  - Vinny Capone
I thought this was a good movie but I thought it was better when I found out someone I knew through my brother-in-law was in it. Robin Williams daughter in the movie,the guy who played her boyfriend.

Rating: - I will love this movie forever!!!
My mom bought a copy of this video at a garage sale when I was about thirteen and I've watched it over and over and over for the past ten years. I've never gotten tired of the emotional ups and downs that this story puts you through. The script is wonderful and the acting is exceptional. In fact the movie is really great all around.
I think that one of the things about this movie that appealed to me as a teenager was the idea that life can't be defined as solely comedy or drama. Sometimes the ... Read More
