Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member If you like seventies movies, you'll like this one. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a bad afternoon or evening of your time. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member A group of con artists get paired up by one wily policeman to assist in a neighborhood community center instead of facing hard time. Still as funny and a bit dated but just as good. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
