1980 90 min. Color R
Two small-time thieves (Michael Emil & Zack Norman) come together as
a bizarre comic duo in a quest to make their childhood dreams come true.
In a limousine stuffed with cash stolen from the mob, they take off for
Miami, where they plan to fly to a safe haven in Costa Rica. On the road
they pick up a singer/songwriter/chauffeur (Richard Romanus) plus two
unlikely women they meet in a Holiday Inn (Patrice Townsend and Irene
Forrest) - and the fun begins. A zany, hilarious, screwball road comedy
about sex, money and vitamins, with an exceptional cast who deliver comic
performances of manic perfection!

| "WITH 'SITTING DUCKS' HENRY JAGLOM HAS BROKEN
THROUGH TO A NEW, RAMBUNCTIOUS, CASSAVETES - WITHOUT - TEARS STYLE OF IMPROVISATION
THAT IS VERY FUNNY, A COCKEYED SEX ROUNDELAY, A RAFFISH HOMAGE TO BORN LOSERS
GOING NO PLACE BUT HAVING A GOOD TIME GETTING THERE. Michael Emil is effortlessly,
naturally funny. As he stares at his exasperated listener with the mildest
of eyes, Emil speaks in endless, maddeningly logical sentences, propounding
his theories about crime, sex, love, and God knows what else in the even
tones of a man who can't be turned off. He's so ethereally absurd that you
half expect him to enter his scenes suspended in air and upside down, like
a happy peasant in a Chagall painting. 'SITTING DUCKS' HAS THE EXHILARATION
OF PEOPLE GOING TOO FAR AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT!" |
