This often hilarious, usually tasteless comedy was a hit the world over, and was a further boost to Jim Carrey's rise to major stardom. (Doesn't seem to have done a damned thing for Jeff Daniels, though.)

Yes, both movies star John Travolta as a criminal operating in Los Angeles and both have intricate plotlines, but 'Get Shorty' is much the sunnier and sillier of the two. Of all the recent adaptations of Elmore Leonard novels (i.e. 'Jackie Brown,' 'Out of Sight'), this is the one that least resembles a Quentin Tarantino flick.
