Plot Summary
Jack Cosmo (Joe Piscopo) is a has-been, alcoholic Broadway director who needs to produce a successful musical in order to pay off his debt to mob boss Big Mike (Paul Sorvino). However, problems arise when Big Mike insists on using the degenerates and criminals who owe him money as the cast and crew.

Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: The movie's message, delivered in song at the end, seems less like a credo than like an excuse: "Sometimes all you need to do is try."
Rotten: [Piscopo] isn't just too good for this film, he's too good to be giving it this much effort.
Rotten: An extraordinarily undistinguished comedy from director Brian Herzlinger.
Rotten: There's not much that can kindly be said about either the goofy script or awkward direction.
Customer Reviews
Must See For Erich Bergen Fans
If you are fresh off of seeing Erich Bergen as Bob Gaudio in the Jersey Boys movie, you’ll really appreciate seeing another dimension of his talent in this movie. The movie itself is alright. Not the worst, but not the best. It’s cute.
