Maurice and Dave sell high-end cuts of beef, but after hitting a patch of no sales, they're facing being fired. Maurice needs money to enroll in his final semester of acupuncture school, and the recently-separated Dave needs money for his daughter's birthday gift. Their final client card—a beautiful woman—is attracted to Maurice, but a desperate call from a suicidal friend interrupts her signing the contract. Still hoping to close the sale, they offer to drive her to the friend's house—where their troubles multiply.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I understand the disappointments since both actors (Ray Romano and Kevin James) are sitcom guys who were successful in what they did, because this movie is something else. But I think it is not fair to say it's a bad movie just because audience's expectations related to their sitcom performances and style.I think this was a good movie, especially due to actors performances and considering how simple is the plot. Funny here and there; however, it was a real life story that is played well. I'd say forget about Everybody Loves Raymond and Kings of Queens and watch it for what it is; it is worth it!

The King of Queens and Raymond can't pull it off in this crapfest. This movie is hamstrung by being too PC in its' treatment of every joke and in doing so - removes all the humor as well. There's a zone that comedians shoot for that is the "clean" circuit- the place where you can make the most money, but also the biggest ass of yourself when you participate in completely non humorous projects such as this one. Every idea had potential as a joke, but they all were so sanitized they never got down into something that would make me laugh for real. I kept getting a feeling like a good joke was coming on, and then it would fizzle.PLOT: Two guys trying to sell some contracts for in home meat delivery run afoul of a mob problem. Typically the tagline would include "and hilarity ensues" but no such hilarity to be found here. Just boredom and lack of talent.

Ray Romano is hilarious. Kevin James is hilarious. Put the two together and you get a hilarious movie, right? Not exactly. This was just not the right movie for either of them. None of the real-life comedy of Everybody Loves Raymond. None of the charm of Hitched. Just a couple of funny guys not being funny. It was really just kind of sad.The plot was weak. The situations weren't believable. The characters weren't interesting and the comedy was too dark. Both these actors are at their best when they're lovable doofuses. I didn't like either of these guys. I wanted them to lose.If you choose to check this movie out anyway, be prepared for a dark comedy. Be prepared for these actors to play characters you wouldn't expect.Hope this doesn't discourage them from trying again. They could be really excellent together.

Um what can I say about this movie... without retching?! We rented it because it had Ray and Kevin in it. Within the first 10 minutes I was already bored by the driving scene. I found the conversation between James and Ramano to be lacking, and uninteresting. I was left wanting more. I was bored by the script, plot, and lame lines. I thought it would be funny, yet I found it continually lame and quite the let down. I found Juliette Lewis' role to be pointless and found the drunk wife scene to be overdone. I am glad it had not gone to theater, otherwise I would've wasted more money than the 4.99 it cost to watch this pitiful excuse of a movie. I am still a Ray and Kevin fan though, and will probably watch their next "big" flick. I also was a bit disturbed by Burt Reynold's and his teachings for his son on how to become a man. Maybe if I was in a different mood, I may have enjoyed this movie more. But I seriously doubt it.
