L.A. Confidential (1997)

The Big Kahuna (1999)

90 mins Comedy, Drama

I guess I am having an off day as "The Big Kahuna" is my third movie of this hot Saturday and each movie has failed to entertain with one being just bad, the other too arty and then this. Now I am not a fan of minimal stage p...
