Movie #396 ........................."There Goes the Neighborhood"

Movie #396 "There Goes the Neighborhood" should be entitled, don't waste your time. Yes, there are a lot of comic actors in it, who usually turn in excellent performances, yes the idea sounded good (a heist picture about a doctor in a prison who is told where a buried treasure is, and the prisoners in the next cell find out, too, so it's every man for himself), and yes, it has a couple of funny moments (thanks mostly to Catherine O'Hara, Hector Elizondo and Chaz Palmentierri), but it's a don't bother --- we saw it and saved you the trouble. You're welcome.
