8 Heads in a Duffel Bag takes an interesting premise and plays it in the dumbest and most lacklustre way possible. Oh you've got one of the greatest screen presences the world has ever seen in your film? Well of course it's only logical that you'd instead spend most of the time with a charisma void who is impressively grating on almost every level. This is a structurally illogical, sometimes racist, awkward, idiotic "comedy" that fails on nearly every level. There's a handful (and I really do mean handful) amount of gags here that got some semblance of laughter out of me — grandma thrown out of a moving vehicle off the side of a cliff is genuinely hilarious — but for the most part this is an insipid waste of time that ruins any bit of momentum it has whenever it cuts AWAY from Joe Pesci. Oh and here's the worst part, David Spade is somehow the best aspect of this. When the hell has that ever been the case? Seek this out if Very Bad Things is your favourite film and/or you hate yourself.
