Budget: $24,000,000 ... Gross: $42,880


ahahhaha. that's great. i mean, that's perfect. what a disaster this movie is.

it works pretty well as a comedy though. keitel is just HILARIOUS, even moreso than last temptation.

Popularity at the box office is very important for people who's opinion of an artistic work needs validated by others (rolling my eyes).

Besides, a movie that doesn't do well at the box office isn't always an indicator that it's bad; it could mean something interesting is going on that's too far out of the norm for mass consumption. "Watchmen" and (believe it or not) "The Wizard of Oz" are good examples ("Wizard" bombed when it debuted in 1939).
