The SassyFlix Take
Why Cult
The film pairs slapstick comedy with a crime plot as two inept crooks haul 'insecticide' that's actually guns.
Paul L. Smith and Antonio Cantafora's chemistry as Butch and Toby brings campy, goofball energy to every misadventure.
Even the villains can't get it right—equally inept mobsters add another layer of chaos to the smuggling scheme.
