Speaking of copying a bit.

Get a load of these snippets from two different reviews.

1.From Todd McCarthy of Variety.
"Boogie Nights" meets "Goodfellas" in "Middle Men," a relentlessly sleazy but undeniably intriguing tour of the bottom-feeding netherworld where porn and organized crime do their mutual bump-and-grind.

2.From Claudia Puig of UsaToday.
Think Boogie Nights meets Casino, though it's not likely to make the lasting impression of either seminal film.

Todd McCarthy was first by 6 months so Claudia is victim of an unfortunate coincidence I'm sure.

Never read any reviews. Though, today I tolm my co worker it was like a bad boogie nights. I havent seen any seminal gangsta films or dont care too much about them but if I had I'd probrably have said something similar.

Iono but it was pretty easy to tell that this film was aiming to be something memorable like Boogie Nights but just failed miserably.

I though this movie was better than either Casino or Boogie Nights.
