Movie review

From Time Out New York

Cal (Friedle) and Lennie (Owen) are two orphans who marry spinster sisters (who they believe to be heirs to a fortune), thinking their wizened brides will soon die. But the old gals are out to kill the boys and collect on the life-insurance policies they've taken out on our idiotic heroes. A tedious string of predictable jokes follows. The single punch line that sparks genuine laughter comes three minutes into the film; after that, these marriages are made in comedy hell.
