The "Fools" are good, only the "Chain" is broken, 3 July 2005
Author:
Barky44 (brewpub44@snet.net) from United States
"Chain of Fools" is one of those zany ensemble-cast spoofs on crime
films. The "Fools" include Selma Hayek as a Playboy-posing police
sergeant; Steve Zahn as an incompetent barber; Jeff Goldblum as a
generic stylish thug; Elijah Wood as the world's youngest hit man;
David Cross as an overgrown Boy Scout (literally); Tom Wilkinson as a
vengeful wealthy industrialist; Orlando Jones as a beefy transvestite;
and Lara Flynn Boyle as a treacherous ex-wife.Normally I love ensemble films, and this particular one had a great
cast (well, Steve Zahn didn't particularly shine in this film, even
though he has the most screen time). The problem with CoF is the parts
aren't strung together that well. The plot is mediocre, the editing is
haphazard and the story doesn't flow too well at moments.But the characters do provide quite a few laughs themselves. So it's
better than your average schlocky comedy.7 out of 10.Barky
