Rating:
Barry_Sonnenfeld directs this kissing cousin of his own 1995 hit Get_Shorty, a comic caper adapted by Robert_Ramsey and Matthew_Stone from the novel by newspaper humorist Dave Barry. When two New Jersey hitmen (Dennis_Farina and Jack_Kehler) show up in Miami to whack crooked businessman Arthur Herk (Stanley_Tucci), they happen to creep into his backyard at the same time as Matt (Ben_Foster), a high school kid with his own assassination plans. Only, Matt plans to use nothing heavier than a squirt gun on Jenny (Zooey_Deschanel), Arthur's daughter, as part of a school-wide game of "killer." When the plans collide, mayhem ensues, and Matt's struggling ex-columnist dad (Tim_Allen, loosely modeled on Barry), Arthur's bored wife (Rene_Russo), and two confused police officers (Janeane_Garofalo and Patrick_Warburton) are also called to the scene. Shift to the next day and there's more craziness to follow. Two dimwitted petty criminals (Tom_Sizemore and Johnny_Knoxville) choose the exact moment Arthur is transacting a nuclear arms deal to hold up the dive bar where they're regulars, which is actually a front for the Russian mob. Soon the whole motley cast -- including an agreeable drifter (Jason_Lee), a buxom maid (Sofia_Vergara), and a pair of ruthless FBI agents (Heavy_D and Omar_Epps) -- are caught up in a hostage scenario in which the weapon accidentally gets brought aboard a hijacked plan.
