You Got Nothin' (2002)

What happens when a ten-year-old little girl redirects the lives of her two kidnappers? From the creative minds of writers Philip Angelotti, Jr. and Steven Langa comes an urban comedy filled with characters reminiscent of an Elmor Leonard novel. Major League hopeful Joey Carlucci (Angelotti) and his childhood friend Dominick Mazzetti (Langa), born and bred in Hoboken, NJ, are sentenced to a life of small-time debt collecting, until ordered by their boss, Bookie "Big Tommy" Cesaro (Joe Cortese - Against The Ropes/American History X/The Rat Pack) to find and collect $400,000 from deadbeat Willie Starks (Brian McNamara - Army Wives/Arachnophobia/Caddyshack II/Billionaire Boys Club). Discovering that Willie has relocated to Los Angeles, Joey and Dom pack their bags and head out west ~ only to find themselves in a world they never imagined. From an overzealous bellhop (Reynaldo Gallegos - American Sniper/Rambo/Spider Man 3/Bad Boys II), and two crazy gun-toting Cubans (Pepe Serna, American Me/Scarface and Matt Gallini, 2 Fast 2 Furious ), to the unplanned kidnapping of Willie's 10-year-old daughter, Joey and Dom find their world spinning completely out of control, culminating in their madcap rescue by Joey's girlfriend Nickie (Ellina McCormick - Mr. Fix It/Escape to Grizzy Mountain/Looney Tunes Back in Action). Philip Angelotti, Jr. makes his directorial debut, and with the craftsmanship of a seasoned professional, Mr. Angelotti deftly constructs a world balancing drama and comedy.
