WARNING: THIS IS ONLY A LOVE STORY. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME.
A pastry shop burns down and Sergio Cuccio (John Leguizamo), who works there, is offered money to take the blame for the arson; he and his girlfriend could use it. A quaint little film populated by a variety of oddballs who all confess to the crime because of love; itās a lively and engaging cast. Director Joshua Brand co-created St. Elsewhere, so the absurdities and the sprightly tone come as no surprise. However, the movie isnāt very funny and after a while we grow weary of all the peculiarities ā to say nothing of the music.
