Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

classicsoncall I've read quite a few books about the Mafia but I don't recall that bringing back the head of a mob hit was ever a requirement to prove the job was done. I guess you just have to go with the concept here the same way you go in to see something like "Snakes on a Plane" or "Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter". The idea is just so far fetched that you have to see it through to see how it all plays out. Joe Pesci is the right guy to pull off something like this, he's a lot like the character Tommy DeVito he portrays in 1990's "Goodfellas". His name is Tommy here too, so maybe he's the same guy, who knows? He's got a scene here that reminds me of yet another oddly titled flick, "Throw Momma From the Train" when he heaves George Hamilton's mother out of the car for being a bit overbearing. Look, no one's going to confuse this with being a great movie in any way but it's relatively entertaining if you like Pesci and his wise guy manner. With George Hamilton and Dyan Cannon both pushing sixty when the film was made, you have to admit they made a fine looking couple. Story continuity takes a bit of a beating as the picture progresses but I don't think that's what one looks for in a picture with a title like this. So don't even bother wondering what ever happened to George Hamilton when the picture ends.

popcorninhell The film begins auspiciously enough; Tommy (Joe Pesci) a middleman for two assassins is hired to transport eight severed heads to their mob boss to prove their owners are dead. This would be his last job before his retirement so to play it safe, he packs them in a duffel bag and takes a plane instead of driving because, you know, airport security was less stringent in 1997. While on board the plane, Tommy meets Charlie (Andy Comeau) a college student set to meet his girlfriend (Kristy Swanson) and her parents (George Hamilton & Dyan Cannon) in Mexico. Naturally Charlie's duffel bag get switched and madness ensues.If you're interest was peaked by that small synopsis you're in for a mixed bag. The story unfolds somewhat predictably though definitely not without energy. Joe Pesci who has been able to hone-in on his inner Guido since Goodfellas, barks, snaps and growls to the point where every scene he's in is utter magic. Even with a situation as cliché as being on the phone while an impatient extra circles behind you is done with panache. His costars however play their parts with less success. Andy Comeau has the appearance of your typical rube but he doesn't have the attention to detail more experienced actors have. Playing it safe he seems frazzled when he should be panicked. David Spade and Todd Louiso who play Charlie's college friends and are shoehorned into the series of unfortunate events fare better but get a little annoying towards the end. Aside from Pesci, the only person who really hits a home run is Ernestine Mercer who plays Swanson's no-nonsense grandmother."8 Heads" however, is a fun time waster and manages to keep things light despite its dark subject matter. Writer/Director Tom Schulman who also wrote "What About Bob?" and "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids" manages to keep the pace of your average farce without reinventing the wheel. And yes, there are head puns in this film but the groaner aren't the only thing this film has going for it.http://theyservepopcorninhell.blogspot.com/

Arlis Fuson This is one of those movies that time has forgotten, it wasn't a huge success and not a lot of people even know it exists. Too bad that often happens to good films.This film is about you guessed it...Eight heads in a duffel bag. They are supposed to be delivered to a gangster, but end up in the wrong hands and the laughs follow them on their journey.Joe Pesci and Dyan Cannon made me laugh the most here and the rest of the cast were fine too, even if David Spade is in it and is annoying.Pesci has his normal gangster attitude in this movie and thats the Pesci we love, there is no one like him in the biz and he's just one in a million.This movie is worth a watch to anyone that likes their comedies wacky and love to see people getting in weird predicaments. Give it a chance people it will make you smile.

tonymurphylee I have to start by asking, What kind of a premise is that!? A man who is about to married gets stuck with a duffel bags with specifically eight heads. How did he get the heads? His duffel bag got switched with a hit man's duffel bag on an airplane! Um. Out of all the interesting film premises out there, why on earth does this film have to have that as the premise? So right off, I hated the story. The rest of the film isn't bad. It isn't a particularly funny film, although David Spade and Joe Pesci are really funny in this. I suppose I can recommend it. I just would have preferred that the film didn't have such a weird story. David Spade and Joe Pesci are excellent and it's a different kind of film. That's about all I can say.
