Wise Guys

Two small-time Brooklyn lounge singers, Harry and Moe, get involved in a dangerous mob scheme involving a racehorse. After a botched hit, they find themselves on the run from both the mob and the police, attempting to survive and perhaps even profit from their predicament. Their attempts to outsmart the criminals lead to a series of increasingly chaotic and comedic situations.

Wise Guys was met with a generally poor critical reception, with many critics finding the film unfocused and lacking the comedic or dramatic punch expected from its cast and director. While some acknowledged the potential of the premise and performances, the overall consensus was that the film failed to deliver a satisfying or coherent narrative.

• Lacks the sharp wit and cohesive storytelling expected.
• Performances, particularly from DeVito and Piscopo, are often cited as a weak point.
• The plot is considered convoluted and ultimately unsatisfying.

Google audience: Audience reviews suggest a mixed-to-negative reception, with many finding the film to be a forgettable comedy that doesn't live up to its stars' potential. Some viewers appreciate the effort of the main actors, but the humor and plot are frequently criticized.

Joe Piscopo and Danny DeVito, who play best friends in the film, were reportedly at odds during filming, which some critics and audience members believe contributed to the film's lack of chemistry.
