Strathathon #39
This is a six-minute SNL sketch, stretched miserably to feature length.
The payoff for Strathairn's character - who spends most of the movie somewhat side-lined - is by far and away the best sequence here, so that's something. Also in that sequence: a lot of entertaining Scorsese reaction shots. Maybe just watch that bit.

Rare headlining role for Bobby Costanzo aka 'Harry from work' from Total Recall, the annoying airport cop from Die Hard 2 and Joey's dad. Four friends' relationships are tested as they all vie behind each other's backs for the same audition as Al Capone on an upcoming Scorsese picture. Bill Murray has a cameo. Worth a watch.
