The Jerky Boys
1995 · 1h 22m · Comedy, Crime · United States of America · Rated R (US)
They were just a couple of losers from Queens...until they dialed a wrong number and got the mob!
When two unemployed telephone pranksters decide to use their vocal "talents" to impersonate a Chicago mob boss and curry favor with organized crime in New York, the trouble begins. It isn't long before Johnny and Kamal (the "Jerky Boys" of crank call fame) are wanted by the local mafia, the police, and their neighbor.
