Buy & Cell is a 1988 comedy film directed by Robert Boris. The original music score was composed by Mark Shreeve.

Premise

Herbie Altman is framed by his business partner and sent to jail where he sets up "Con Inc." an investment company with the help of those around him. This is due to the fact that he helped a fellow inmate to invest his money. He runs the business under the nose of the police wardens.[1]

Principal cast

Availability

The movie was released on videocassette in 1989 by New World. The tape itself is notable for having trailers for the films Warlock and The Punisher, both of which were passed on to separate studios after New World fell into bankruptcy. In 1991, Starmaker Video released a tape in the EP Mode. A DVD has been released in Australia and in the Netherlands, but as of December 22, 2009, no plans for a Region 1 DVD have been announced.

Critical reception

Leonard Maltin called the film an "uninteresting would-be comedy."[2] TV Guide wrote, "Clumsy financial satire set in the USA but shot cheaply in Italy. (...)Despite (or perhaps because of) its virtuous intentions, Buy & Cell is dated and largely unfunny."[3]

From All Movie Guide:

Lame, predictable story which wastes a talanted cast.[4]
