This is driving me up a fucking wall. There was a movie my sister rented with her friend one day and I just randomly decided to watch it with them. I was about 10-11 years old at the time, so this would be about 98-99. I don't know if it is was a popular film or not, but I'm guessing it wasn't because no one I've spoken to about it can seem to identify it.
These are the details I can remember:
-It was about a family. There was a father, a daughter, and a sister. Well, I'm not sure if they were sisters, but they were 2 young females about late teens or early 20s. They sometimes spoke another language so there were subtitles here and there. I want to say the language was Yiddish, but I have no idea why.
-I know it was an American film. Either that, or it was set in America because the characters kept referencing places like The Sizzler.
-The father (I think. May have been another character) stabs a guy in the thigh with a fork in one scene. He asks him why he isn't screaming in pain, and then takes his pants off and sees that he had steaks wrapped around his thighs.
-There is one scene where the 2 girls are having an argument and one says to the other something about how she thought the door was closed. I think it had something to do with the girl having sex with someone and the other girl saw her through the door.
-In one scene around the early part of the movie, the father is talking to the daughter about "brassieres" and she says something about him using that word.
-One of the girls walks around just wearing a bra. No idea what the context of this was, but she just casually walked around without a shirt on.
That's it. That's all I remember about this movie. Thanks to whoever can put a name to it. (And if this turns out to be some cult classic, don't hate me for not remembering it that well. T_T)

Are you sure it wasn't a dream?

that scene with the steaks around his thighs rang a bell in the back of my head.
i can't put my finger on it, though.
*making dramatic face* imdb.com to the rescue *whoosh*

ok i had a tough time trying to find that, maybe you meant this: http://imdb.com/title/tt0120831/
it's called "Slums of Beverly Hills" (from 1998!), it basically revolves around the family situation of the protagonists, and the blonde girl (Natasha Lyonne) runs around in just a t-shirt in one scene (i remember seeing that movie). the also have jiddish sounding names and i somewhat recall that fork-thigh-scene, though i don't particularly remember a steak being involved, and that is also not mentioned in a related user comment on imdb.com. but i guess all of the above is enough evidence that is the movie you were looking for 
edit: spelling, and the fact i just caught myself being "contributing". wth?

From the Screenit site
"In a flashback, Murray stabs a fork into his chef's leg, but it turns out the man was smuggling meat from the restaurant under his pant and the fork landed in it, and not his leg. He then takes one of the steaks and hits his chef with it."
Looks like this is the one. Thanks Cpt Obvious and Storchen.
After almost 10 years, the mystery is finally put to rest. Though I was expecting something a hell of a lot more obscure than Slums of Beverly Hills (which I've actually heard of many times before. I just never thought it could possibly be my "mystery" movie)

lmfao I don't know why I found this thread so hilarious, but I did.
I'm going to go to blockbuster tonight and rent the movie. Well, assuming I can find it at least.
It sounds awesome. And I hope that the ladies are sexy. This thread has me so curious and I don't know why. I guess I'm in a strange mood. :|

I encourage you to rent it tonight and watch it. This is exactly what I planned to do. I got up this morning and made a vow to myself: Either I finally figure out what the fucking title of this movie is and have it my hands by this evening or just kill myself. Seriously, I've been seeing that goddamn fork-thigh-steak scene in my head at least twice a day for the past 8 years.
And it will also be nice to see it and actually comprehend the plot and dialouge.

Let's see if anyone can help me figure out this movie. I saw it back in 8th grade (2002) in my history class, but I never bothered to find out what it was.
It seemed like an old cheeseball COMEDY (maybe early 90's/80's and possibly even 70's). But here are some scenes I specifically remember:
- A shot of a huge statue of a white bird....and poop came out from underneath it.
- There was a gunfight scene and these two guys were playing an incidental game of tic-tac-toe through a window (with their guns) that was divided up into 9 squares.
- Towards the end, one of the characters was plotting out how to infiltrate the "enemy" base. In doing so, he was talking to his crew by using a miniature size model of the entire base: Complete with train set and buildings and little action figures to see where the enemies were stationed.
I don't exactly remember what the movie was about, but I do know that it was a comedy. And these were the only scenes I can recall. Everything else is pretty blurry.

the first two scenes you mentioned scream "MONTHY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS" so loud even caps can't describe it.
