This rental was a surprise hit at my house. It takes a bit of time to get into, but each one of the main characters is well written and acted. The flatulent and nervous Charlie is a comedic turn by Liam Neeson like I've never seen him; Oliver Platt's psychotic Mafia hitman Fulvio (who just wants to grow some great tomatoes) is tremendous - the next-door-neighbor scene had us rolling. The gay drug lords, Sandra Bullock's Enema Queen, Fulvio's equally psychotic wife, and the men's support group are icing on the cake.

You do have to pay some attention to this flick because the humor is character-based and until they develop it's slow. But the payoff is great as Charlie tries to hold together a deal between drug lords and Mafiosos who are all too ready to use guns to resolve their differences.
