Based on the first novel by award-winning Miami-based humorist Dave Barry, this is the story of various characters - street thugs, bomb-smuggling immigrants, high school kids, an embezzler, two hitmen, two cops, a newspaper man-turned-advertising writer, etc. whose lives come together in an eventful couple of days.Noteworthy as one of a few movies whose release date was delayed for several months after the horrible events of 9/11 (another was the Schwarzenegger vehicle, "Collateral Damage"; I can't remember the other one(s)).Fast, loose, and often genuinely funny movie is a certifiable farce, with some good lines and outrageous situations. Overall, it's a little above average for a comedy - so many fail because they are more lame than funny, or paced badly, or just boring. At least this movie delivers some actual laughs. It gets an extra point from me just for the excellent comedy cast alone.Hey, you know what would go great with this movie? A big bag of Fritos!"My name's Puggy, and I live in a tree. I hope I haven't ruined anything for you."7/10
