Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

ojolie I understand the disappointments since both actors (Ray Romano and Kevin James) are sitcom guys who were successful in what they did, because this movie is something else. But I think it is not fair to say it's a bad movie just because audience's expectations related to their sitcom performances and style.I think this was a good movie, especially due to actors performances and considering how simple is the plot. Funny here and there; however, it was a real life story that is played well. I'd say forget about Everybody Loves Raymond and Kings of Queens and watch it for what it is; it is worth it!

jackkentclrk 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.

weiler97 Everyone seems to agree we expect more from Ray and Kevin.Starts off slow. Best line is .....punch your A-hole. That's what this movie needs. And when you get to the end, what's the point? Actually throughout the movie- no point or flow: the 'mobsters', the suicide attempt by Juliette, Kevin 'pretending' be a counselor could have been a lot funnier.Is it me - or is High Def not a good idea for some actors? Too many close shots of Ray looking thru a door's window (as if in a busy banquet hall, no one would be coming in and out), over and over again.What was supposed to be sexy with Ray and the woman skeeved me out. He just seemed so creepy. It actually got more interesting when it was revealed she was a 'man' (like that is believable).Best performance: Tony. Seemed unscripted and kept you wondering what he was going to do next. When he was bumped off....the story that had potential hope also died.And $21,000 (minus commission) is supposed to be a large sum to change one's life? Not even a happy ending.........Budget must have ran out.

guyfromjerzee You would think that a movie starring both Ray Romano and Kevin James (each extremely funny on their sitcoms) couldn't possibly fail. This movie doesn't necessarily fail, but with the talents of these two great comedians, it definitely falls short. Romano and James show that they're both good actors, and can play characters different from the ones on their sitcoms. Hopefully, next time they'll be working with a better script. Other than the novelty of the main characters being door-to-door meat salesman, the movie doesn't contain much originality. I chuckled quite a few times throughout the course of the film, but there are no big laughs. I can see why "Grilled" went straight-to-video, despite the popularity of the two actors. If it played in theaters, it would probably have a worse box office performance than "Welcome to Mooseport." To be fair, the plot does thicken in the second half, and I found myself pretty intrigued. However, being a big fan of both "Everybody Loves Raymond" and "The King of Queens," I couldn't help but feel disappointed. And I'm sure other fans will be disappointed as well.
