A man makes some unexpected (and potentially dangerous) discoveries about his family in this comedy. Kevin Gower (Michael Rapaport) is an investment advisor who is engaged to marry the woman he loves, Deeann (Christine Taylor). One day, Kevin is approached by a gruff stranger named Max (Christopher Walken), who escorts Kevin into a car. Soon Kevin is introduced to Sal (Robert Forster), a leading organized crime figure who informs Kevin thats he is his biological father. This is puzzling news for Kevin, especially after Sals limousine is blown up only a few moments later. Madge (Nancy Allen), Kevins mom, confirms that Sal was indeed Kevins father, though she thought it best that he not know about it. A few days later, Max and Wendy (Jamie Anderson), Sals girlfriend, approach Kevin and ask him to attend Sals funeral. Kevin agrees, but he soon learns that his presence is requested not just to memorialize the life of a friend or relative -- whoever killed Sal may well be coming after Kevin next, and if they can use him as bait, they have a better chance of finding out who rubbed out Sal. Kevin isnt sure how he feels about this, since Deeann is suspicious of Kevins stories about wiseguys, exploding limos, and Wendy -- and Kevins co-workers have been wondering where hes been. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
