Moronic comedy with Marlon Brando reaching a career-low as a religious-nut prison warden and a wasted cast that includes Charlie Sheen, Mira Sorvino, Donald Sutherland and blink-and-you'll-miss-them cameos from David Arquette and Martin Sheen. The starting point to this unfunny shambles is a double wedding with Brando's identical twin daughters, and it's downhill from there. Attempts at quirkiness fall totally flat and the plot developments are just nonsensical, especially the dumbest prison break you've ever seen. Early on, Brando's ginger Wilford Brimley look-a-like falls headfirst into a toilet, and it's a pretty apt metaphor for this embarrassing movie.

"...A first-rate oddity....A screwball heist farce of the Coen Brothers school...[Brando is] unabashedly playful..."

A bit childish, Brando is best thing in it though
I only saw this film because of Brando and it was the only one of his I hadn't seen. He was good in it. But the film itself was childish in the extreme, and very unsatisfactory. I wouldn't recommend it, to be honest.
