Peter Gallagher and Jon Tenney are a pair of cousins with some simmering resentments left from childhood, so when Gallagher moves back to Chicago and in with Tenney to sort his life out, he leaves himself open for a variety of dirty tricks. Tenney shares his house with other roommates where the watchwords are "watch it!"--meaning that everyone is fair game for increasingly cruel practical jokes. Some funny material gives Tom Sizemore and John C. McGinley, a couple of actors who don't usually get this kind of role, the chance to be both funny and sympathetic. Suzy Amis is also good as the girl who inspires increased rivalry between the cousins. Witty and enjoyable, if inconsequential. (official distributor synopsis)
