This movie caught me off guard when I first saw it !!! I never knew Ray Romano and Kevin James made a movie together !!...and that they swore a lot(especially Kevin - he really like to use those words a lot), so I got interested in this movie , just to catch Ray and Kevin talking like that and playing characters not like their TV roles!!! So as I got caught up into the movie , I then discovered this gorgeous creature(Sofi'a) with this accent that she uses to "seduce" with her sexy looks and the sexy movement of her hot body !!!! Unfortunately I can understand why this movie went straight to video , for me , I enjoyed Sofi'a's seducing scenes but her part came during the middle part of the movie....and there's a surprise that caught me off guard with Sofi'a's character "Loridonna" !!! Anyway the beginning of the movie starts off slow but interesting to watch Ray and Kevin work off each other in a different type of comedy for them. And after Sofi'a's scenes the movie slows down again,but a cameo by Burt Reynolds gets pretty interesting.

We all love Ray Romano and Kevin James in Everybody Loves Raymond and the King of Queens. I've gained respect from both of these guys, playing a very funny role in a great family TV shows. Especially Ray Romano, who I thought was very consistent with the movies he chose. Ice Age, Welcome to Mooseport... sure not the greatest films out there but at least you see a comedian stick with his funny family role. I grew up picturing Ray Romano as a role model, as a guy I would love to meet and remember my experience with him. And yes, of course there's a BUT.This movie totally ruined my respect for them. Instead of being all funny and making you enjoy the picture, this was a dark movie with harsh language and pathetic acting. It was like when I heard Ray Romano swear for the first time a knife went through me. Sure everyone swears, but just he fact that my role model... If you love Ray Romano and/or Kevin James, DO NOT see this movie. Trust me. If you do love these two actors, it's because of the previous wicked roles they were in. This movie will lower your respect for them. Play it safe and don't watch this movie. Trust me, it's no loss. This was a bad film.

The two geniuses behind Everybody Loves Raymond and The King Of Queens come together to bring us Grilled.First of all and this is very important Grilled has a completely different comedic style than both sitcoms so don't expect The King Of Queens or Everybody Loves Raymond.The humour style of Grilled is very subtle and rather dark as Dave and Maurice get themselves in and out of hilariously dark situations.The acting is what makes Grilled funny Ray Romano, Kevin James, Juliette Lewis, Burt Reynolds, and Michael Rappaport give amazing performances that are unique and show all the talent the have in the genre of comedy.Where the pacing is concerned it is very slow and yes Grilled does get a little stale but they always put in a good plot twist to get your interest back and hold it.The movie has a lot of film noir like humour the kind of humour you'd find in Lucky Number SLevin or Pulp Fiction but it also has it's fair share of physical humour as well.It is overall a very fantastic movie but definitely not as good as either Everybody Loves Raymond or The King Of Queens it is however a funny film worth watching at least once.Ray Romano and Kevin James show they have a lot of potential and a lot of talent in more than one division of the comedy genre.I enjoyed the slow yet amusing tale of two meat salesmen hellbent on making a sale no matter what the situation so I give Grilled a 6 out of 10 it would receive a 7 if the pace was faster and there was a little more physical comedy.

Um what can I say about this movie... without retching?! We rented it because it had Ray and Kevin in it. Within the first 10 minutes I was already bored by the driving scene. I found the conversation between James and Ramano to be lacking, and uninteresting. I was left wanting more. I was bored by the script, plot, and lame lines. I thought it would be funny, yet I found it continually lame and quite the let down. I found Juliette Lewis' role to be pointless and found the drunk wife scene to be overdone. I am glad it had not gone to theater, otherwise I would've wasted more money than the 4.99 it cost to watch this pitiful excuse of a movie. I am still a Ray and Kevin fan though, and will probably watch their next "big" flick. I also was a bit disturbed by Burt Reynold's and his teachings for his son on how to become a man. Maybe if I was in a different mood, I may have enjoyed this movie more. But I seriously doubt it.
