Robin Williams is in his edgily desperate mode as a Queens car salesman whose life is in turmoil. He's fooling around with someone else's wife, his marriage is on the rocks, and he has to sell 12 cars in 12 days or he will lose his job. He's so desperate that he even tries to pitch a sale to a widow at a funeral. As if he didn't have enough problems, the crazed husband (Tim Robbins) of one of his coworkers bursts into the car show room with an automatic weapon and takes everyone hostage. His wife has been cheating on him (not with Williams) and he's ready to go postal unless he finds out who's been sleeping with her. It's up to Williams to try to keep everyone from getting killed. But as hard as Williams and Robbins work, they can't make this film more than sporadically funny--and that's only because Williams is at his most spritzingly frenetic. --Marshall Fine

 Vinny Capone October 11, 2007
John Almo (East Brunswick, NJ)
I thought this was a good movie but I thought it was better when I found out someone I knew through my brother-in-law was in it. Robin Williams daughter in the movie,the guy who played her boyfriend. Vinny Capone is a great guy and I hope to see him in more films and not just as a stunt guy, which he does now.

Ex-Mork turns to selling cars! June 13, 2004
andy8047 (Nokomis,Florida)
Robin Williams,the brilliant comedian who delighted audiences starring on the ABC sitcom "Mork & Mindy",is a car salesman named Joey O'Brien. Joey is divorced with a teenage daughter who lives with her mother and Joey's ex-wife Tina(Pamela Reed). Joey also is having an affair with a married woman,Joy Munchack(pre-The Nanny Fran Drescher). First,Joey helps a funeral director place a coffin inside a pick-up truck,with the new widow nearby. Joey sells the widow a car before her husband's interment. "You sleaze! You are the scum of the earth!",the widow tells Joey. Tim Robbins is Larry,the violently crazy husband of Donna(Annabella Sciorra),one of Joey's co-workers. All hell breaks loose at Turgeon Auto when Larry crashes through the establishment's windows via his motorcycle with a semi-automatic gun in hand. He wants to kill the guy who's having an affair with Donna. Larry holds everybody at TA hostage,even Joey. Joey confessed to Larry,that Joey was having an affair with Donna. Joey has two other problems. He has to sell 12 cars by closing time to keep the business alive and his and Tina's daughter Lisa is missing. Joey confuses Lisa with Lila(Lori Petty),Joey's freaky fashion designer girlfriend. Happily,Lisa safely returns with her boyfriend Louie. Director Roger Donaldson previously directed Tom Cruise in 1988's COCKTAIL. If you love cars,this film is for you.
I will love this movie forever!!! February 9, 2003
Susan Andrus (Bozeman, Montana United States)
My mom bought a copy of this video at a garage sale when I was about thirteen and I've watched it over and over and over for the past ten years. I've never gotten tired of the emotional ups and downs that this story puts you through. The script is wonderful and the acting is exceptional. In fact the movie is really great all around.
I think that one of the things about this movie that appealed to me as a teenager was the idea that life can't be defined as solely comedy or drama. Sometimes the you end up caring about people who are upsetting your existence and sometimes the people who upset your existence are ones that you care about. In the end, though, things are more or less okay. I think this movie does a wonderful job of illustrating that notion, although on a much exagerrated level. (Really,how boring would a realistic movie be???)
Recently I've noticed that I've lost that copy my mom found for twenty-five cents and I'm excited to buy it on dvd.I'd highly recommend this movie and have for ten years.
