This will be a movie that in a few years we look back in and see how much talent was on screen. The actors and actresses raw performance & grittiness and subtleties is what takes this movie to a surprising new level. This is a really funny movie with some ridiculous moments. it never takes itself too seriously which is why IT WORKS.!!!!

What happens when a movie is supposedly a comedy yet there is nothing very funny about it? The story jumps around so much that unless you are paying close attention, and I could not, it can be hard to figure out who is on what side and why. Possibly this is an intended consequence of the direction the editor and director wanted the movie to take. I have no real issue with the acting on display other than the two cops that are unbelievably poor performances. For their sake I hope this is not some of their best work. Not sure why some reviews read like promotional advertisements for the movie. To each their own. I would never waste my time watching garbage like this again.

At the Houston Comedy Film Festival I was ale to get into this packed screening and it did not disappoint. I honestly laughed out loud which is rare for me when watching a film. Jonny's Sweet Revenge is a bar, which get's held up by a guy who does it only to satisfy his girlfriend. There are multiple story lines that all revolve around this bar, and it seems everyone is trying to rob it, besides these two bumbling 'Hollywood' wanna be cops which totally stole the show. Between the cops and the 'stoner' dude wanting to open a cobble booth at the farmer's market they made this film, and were standout funny. I didn't really enjoy the female performances as much as the guys, but they were pretty to look at. Overall Jonny's Sweet Revenge is a solid comedy with some great lines and solid performances. I recommend a watch if you like films like Reservoir Dogs or Guy Richie type films, though Jonny's comes off more of a parody of those films...
