Question: How do you screw up a movie with a cast of Brendan Fraser, Patrick Dempsey and Moira Kelly? Answer: It ain't easy, but try adding Joe Pesci. I hope no one actually associates the way Pesci (as Simon Wilder) acted in the movie with real homeless people. In the real world, Montgomery Kessler (played by Brendan Fraser) could have had this arrogant little urchin committed. I've been homeless. I know that real homeless people do not act like they are doing a standup comedy act, or preach constantly (unless it is someone who has psychiatric problems and they are off their meds). I don't know.., I just hate Joe Pesci. That squeaky, little voice coupled with the arrogant, Guido demeanor. He's not funny. He's just irritating. I actually felt sorry for Kessler's roommates when this aggressive, little punk actually weaseled his way into their apartment to "take a bath".
