Disappointing. Starts with the promise of being an offbeat story with offbeat characters, but just becomes increasingly annoying as the actors and the script very consciously push the "quirky" elements way, way too far. None of the actors, most of whom are well known, are the least bit convincing in any way. This film can't make any connection to any kind of reality, not even a totally fictional one. It's just trying really, really hard to be something, but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is. The most valuable thing about this viewing experience is that it inspired me to scrub other highly questionable films out of my netflix queue.

The movie "cold feet" is a really lame, 1980's attempt at humour, wherein Tom Waits plays a murderer whom you're supposed to like. Because he cries, and plays with children. But, even his humourous ways and decent acting can't save this horrible, horrible movie. There are definitely some funny parts in this movie, but they're totally unintentional. Tom Waits fans can appreciate this, other than that... Nobody should see this movie. Ever.

Is it because I am Old and Cheesy? Is it because I am a dyed in the wool Tom Waits fanatic? Or is it because the acting by Waits is nigh unto maniacal? The scene in the Stallion Registration Office will forever be etched on my brain. Any and all should see - nay, experience this movie.

This is definitely not your typical caper film. The humor is done in shades of black and the characters are so far off-beat as to be asynchronous. I loved it. Keith Carradine is relatively normal in this crew! The script is full of winning lines and concepts, and while I can see why it would not appeal to the faint of heart (or wit), it is truly an underappreciated gem. I couldn't believe the lack-luster review given by the only other viewer to comment here, and just had to add my two bits...
