...jaws of king croc. In the urban jungle of Manhattan he is as flummoxed as King Kong -- wary of escalators, bidets and soul-man handshakes -- but eager to buck the odds.

He plays Mick with a warmth and naivete which make all of his gaffes fun to watch, and his encounter with two prostitutes is a comic stand-out.
