The life of Pest Varges, a young con man, who suffers from the big debt he has, as the German mob chases him, has been turned upside down, when he accepts to be transported into a distant island, where he has to face an evil executive, from whom he has to survive a whole day and a night, the thing that brings terrible for him.
When Mr. Leguizamo isn't doing third-rate ethnic parody, he is wallowing in scatological jokes that are so poorly prepared and executed that they make similar antics by Mr. Carrey play like classic routines.

There is not a socioeconomic, political, ethnic or gender group that is left unoffended.
If you have any doubt that John Leguizamo is not funny, this movie will handily reinforce that notion.
