Hoods (Full Frame)

VHS, R, 92 minutes, Pioneer Entertainment

As fast-paced and entertainment as "Get Shortly," this mob comedy stars Joe Mantegna, Kevin Pollak and Joe Pantoliano as inept small-time hoods who have six hours to carry out a hit for the boss. As if Angelo Martinelli (Mantegna) isn't having a bad enough day as it is, it's his 50th birthday, his girlfriend (Jennifer Tilly) is seeing other men, and his father, the boss, has given him orders to kill Carmine Dellarosa by five o'clock. The only question baffling Angelo is, who the heck is Carmine Dellarosa? As Angelo enlists his gang of losers to help find him, they wind up in even more hilarious and bizarre circumstances every step of the way.
