New York Adult Entertainment: Daniel Craig, Hugh Jackman Broadway Reviews: So-So
Elizabeth Vincentelli of The New York Post: “Huff’s idea of thinking outside the box begins and ends with his naming the Irish character Joey (Craig) and the Italian one Denny (Jackman). Everything else is steeped in hoary convention, from the flashback structure to the tone, dripping with tough-guy attitude…. Bad-boy Denny takes kickbacks on the job but his domestic life, complete with wife and kids, is relatively settled. Responsible Joey goes to sensitivity training but also has a drinking problem and can’t get a date. That’s about it for layers.
“When things come to a head in a mishmash involving a lactating prostitute, a violent pimp, a serial killer and a puppy — sadly, they aren’t all together in a bar — Joey must re-examine his lifelong relationship with his hotheaded friend and partner.
