Review

In Lethal Weapon 2, Glover and Pesci were two thirds of a terrific comedy team, with Mel Gibson playing Moe to their Larry and Curly. In the lame-brained Gone Fishin', however, the results of their reteaming is painfully wretched, and about as appealing as cold fish. They play two klutzy childhood chums who've always been the best of friends. Grown old (but not necessarily grown up) and with families of their own, the two dim-witted and playfully immature pals win a fishing vacation in the Florida Everglades. With barely a fully functioning brain between them, the duo cut a swath of accidental destruction and comic mayhem across the Sunshine State that rivals that of Hurricane Andrew. The sophomoric mentality to the film's slapstick physical humor is childish at best, and actors of such high calibre as Pesci and Glover deserve better.
