| Frankie's
a good Italian boy working at a pizza joint in New York
City; he gives his brother, Pino, a pile of cash to buy a
"bargain" diamond ring from a back-alley dealer
on his behalf, then gives his girlfriend the key to his
parents' apartment, telling her the folks will be gone
and asking her to be there waiting for him - "It
will be just like we're married." Pino - a slick
Italian Stallion with an attitude (his persona alone is
worth the price of admission) - gets the ring alright;
but when Frankie arrives home for the big date, he finds
Pino and his girlfriend flagrante delicto (caught in the
act) on the kitchen table. |

| Disgusted
with his life but with the ring in his pocket, Frankie
decides that he should move into a better neighborhood
and pursue his acting ambitions ("De Niro's the
better actor, but I like Stallone!"). He answers
Warren's newspaper ad for a roommate, thinking that
"GWM" stands for "Guy With Money!" If you can stand the
crudeness of the language (practically every sentence has
f---- in it), this is a very funny movie with a good
script. The actors were well-chosen and all do an
outstanding job. Even though some of the stuff is really
silly, this film goes to the top of my list for
entertainment value.
