Michael Biehn) and Steve (
Rob Schneider) to do the deed, while Susan recruits her hairdresser, Betty (
Lara Flynn Boyle), to set up the victim. Bill and Steve shoot three times at close range but miss. Betty distracts doctors, while biker Bob (
Dan Aykroyd) goes into the intensive care room to smother Paul. When Sam's former wife Penny (
Lisa Edelstein) learns what's going down, she demands sex plus money. Appearing in cameos are several film directors (
Stuart Gordon, Randall Kleiser and
Adam Rifkin). Shown at the 1998 AFI Film Festival. ~ Bhob Stewart, All Movie Guide
