Joe McBeth is a hard-working but unambitious doofus who toils at a hamburger stand alongside his wife Pat, who has a significant edge in the brains department. Pat is convinced she could do a lot better with the place than their boss Norm Duncan is doing, so she works up a plan to usurp Norm, convincing Mac to rob the restaurant's safe and then murder Norm, using the robbery as a way of throwing the police off their trail. Though two stoners and a would-be fortune teller warn Mac that bad luck awaits him, he gathers his courage and goes through with his wife's scheme. At first, things seem to have gone just as Pat hoped, and after Norm's sons sell the restaurant to the McBeths (they pay for it with the money they stole from Norm), business takes off. But vegetarian police detective McDuff is convinced there's foul play at the new center of the fast food universe, and when the McBeths fear that fry cook Banco knows more than he's letting on, Mac takes charge in the plotting department and decides there may be more dead meat on the menu.

| L.A. WeeklyHazel-Dawn DumpertIt's a setup so easy it borders on facile, but keeping the film from cheap-shot mediocrity is its crack cast. |
| Supercala.comJohn VenableVery clever writing and great casting make this a comedy that's fun to watch even if you're not familiar with the source material. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittThis spawn of William Shakespeare and Ray Kroc has more fun with [the] thin premise than you might expect, mostly because of Maura Tierney. |

| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)This spawn of William Shakespeare and Ray Kroc has more fun with [the] thin premise than you might expect, mostly because of Maura Tierney. |
| San Diego Union-TribuneJames HebertUnderachieves only in not taking the Shakespeare parallels quite far enough. |
| Des Moines RegisterJeffrey BrunerIt's not exactly a gourmet meal but the fare is fair, even coming from the drive-thru. |
| New TimesGregory WeinkaufFunny? Yes, but in its slapdash way, it sounds nuttier than it plays. |
| Los Angeles Daily NewsBob StraussEvery performance, whether LeGros' slow development from sedentary to sinister or Kevin Corrigan's dimwitted but always fully realized 'Banco' character, is a gem. |
| SPLICEDWireRob Blackwelderdeliriously funny, fast and loose, accessible to the uninitiated, and full of surprises |
