This movie was awful! It pretends to be funny but it's the emporer's clothes...there isn't anything there unless you pretend, along with the cast and director, that this film is witty and sharp and "hilarious". In fact I picked this movie as a rental because I wanted a comedy, I saw the video jacket quoted someone saying it was "hilarious!" and I fell for it, hook, line and stinker. I sat, watching in disbelief and disgust as the body parts of Woody Allen's dismembered wife began falling out of the truck. A few scenes later a priest is making out with a hot babe. This is comedy?! Maybe it's funny (for some people) to make fun of other people's values, especially people in today's society who have little or no power (or respect?), like the Mexican-Americans protrayed in the movie, but I don't find that funny. For me it was just a waste of time and quite disturbing to see how little respect some people have for other people's values.
