Things that crack me up about this movie..


He has 88 minutes to live..but lives an entire lifetime in those 88 minutes! Seriously..the coincidences and everything happening in a row was a little too much..too many coincidences that just ended up funny.

I also like the way he groped Alcia Witt throughout the movie, hahah..I wonder if that was on purpose?

The acting was pretty awful...LeeLee Sobieski was basically a robot and Alicia Witt didn't do much else but look confused and angry and simpered throughout the movie.

That poor secretary Shelly...most people would break down under that type of pressure. Every 5 minutes he called her wanting her to do this and that..she deserves a huge raise.

Also, it seems most of his female students follow him around and are close to him and even know where he lives..and he hangs out with them outside of class..isn't this against the ethics for professors? Most professors I have are afraid to even be in a classroom alone with a female it seems and don't get as comfortable or close to female students for fear of having lawsuits brought against them.

This movie was entertaining..in an unintentionally funny way.

All of that could not have happened in 88 minutes. Hell, the movie was 108 minutes. I understand that a chunk of that was exposition, but take that away and you have about 88 minutes, not including all of the travel time that we don't see.

Just watched this POS on broadcast, and I noticed that Pacino pawed Witt, too. With blackened nails, yet. Yeesh. Hey, my ex was just shot to death in front of me and fell down stairs - but I will get weepy over Gramm's STORY in the car, which vehicle blows up within feet of me. But no puking or being in shock for me! No, sir.
