Johnny Brennan, Kamal, Alan Arkin
This stupifyingly pea-brained comedy is custom-tailored to the talents (a generous word choice) of its beefy stars, Brennan and Kamal, two New Yorkers who were employed as a construction worker and a cook, respectively, before acquiring modest fame in 1993 with the release of an album containing their prank phone calls. They are still dialing. Brennan specializes in foul-mouthed abusive tirades; Kamal does foreign accents. This is all that they do, though the movie concocts a limp plot in which the two try to hustle a group of Mafia thugs headed by Arkin, an actor who deserves better. (R)
