Movie review
From Time Out New York
A misrouted parcel concealing ten kilos of high-grade cocaine ends up with two hapless hoods (Epps and Harris), who try to flip the snow before its real owners track them down. Scattershot jokes and weed-fueled mugging aren’t enough to ice over a cynical and simpleminded story in which even the good guys are slacker thieves. The surprisingly violent climax almost balances the morality scale while giving the comedy unexpected weight, but not nearly enough to make this package a first-class delivery.Author: Stephen Garrett
