Queens car salesman Joey O'Brien (Robin Williams) must deal with the ever-increasing pressures in his life: he has an ex-wife demanding alimony, a daughter who's missing, a married mistress (Fran Drescher) and a single mistress (Lori Petty) who are both desperately in love with him, and a two-day deadline to either sell twelve cars or lose his job. In addition, he has an outstanding loan to a Mafia don which he must either quickly repay, or lose his life. On the day of the big dealership car sale (and the final day of O'Brien's deadline), the car dealership is taken hostage by an AK-47-toting motorcyclist (Tim Robbins) (on a Kawasaki H2) who believes his wife (Annabella Sciorra) is cheating on him. Joey manages to talk the man out of doing any harm to the other hostages, as police surround the dealership. After most of the hostages are released, the police wound the assailant, not realizing his gun is not loaded. Joey promises to stick with him while he recovers. The crisis solves all of Joey's problems: his mistresses learn of each other and dump him, his daughter returns, his job is secure, the Mafia don (whose son was among the hostages) forgives his debt, and he begins to reconcile with his ex-wife.Read full review
not one of my favorite Robin Williams movies but pretty good to tell the truth it could have been better only picked it up for Lauren Tom's performance as the restaurant owner frankly he did better movies

I can't believe that I waited as long as I did to purchase this movie. It is truly great. Tim Robbins at his best. I was so relieved to find this DVD on Ebay since it is so hard to find in any store. I don't think that you can even rent this title anymore. It is good re-watch for those of us that have seen it already, and for those first-timers too. I recieved it in the mail and watched it that evening. I would suggest it to any Robin Williams fan as well. Don't miss it.
This film is funny at so many levels. All the sub plots blend. Thank you Robin for your humor.
