Got this from Netflix today and, well, it's awesome. It's probably the best movie of 2008 that no one saw. lol. Peck was hilarious. His New Yorker/wannabe gangsta accent made me laugh a lot. However, it didn't distract or hurt the movie. Kingsley was intentionally hilarious. The story is nothing special or unique but the characters are very well developed and there's a lot of great moments, both funny and serious. It's one of those movies you enjoy for the characters and situations rather than the plot.

Kingsley was incredible in this movie.Really good actor and very funny here too.
