Ray Pluto and Jerry Cubbins are New York City homicide detectives well endowed with comic possibilities. Recent events have led to Pluto being pegged as something of a wiseass. In truth, he hasn't been himself since the tragic death of his wife and child and finds solace by smoking a little hash and watching "Fitness Cheer," a bubbly exercise show with scantily clad cheerleaders. While Pluto is getting lunch one day, a vicious gunman bursts in and Pluto is presented with the perfect opportunity to regain some self-respect. But instead, Pluto's back goes into a spasm and he drops his gun, allowing six-year-old "little Ricky Kapinski" to save the day. The press goes wild. DiCillo has a knack for assembling an eclectic group of actors and putting them in the most compromising situations. Pluto's apartment building is a flurry of crazy activity.

The continuing decline of a once-interesting film-maker
A complete mess and no amount of wishing will make it otherwise: the film shifts uncomfortably from knockabout comedy to brutal knifings, and tries to take in ... read more »

In Yo Face
Don't be too put off, this has still got that Tom Dicillo vibe about it. Obviously not as well realised as his other films but it's still very funny in ... read more »
