      Laura M I very much enjoyed this movie. Sure, it's a little outlandish, from a millionaire chasing down egging hooligans with a shotgun and a mean Pomeranian to the most poorly-secured bank in the history of video surveillance. But the story is a fun romp with a stellar cast, doesn't take itself seriously and wraps itself up in a nice little bow at the end. In the end, it was just good entertainment. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review isla s This film has a real indie feel to it. The characters are pretty wacky and the plot felt a bit weak but it was reasonably entertaining I suppose. I mainly wanted to see it as Woody Harrelson and John Cleese star in it - Johns character isn't exactly breaking any new ground, its safe to say and Woody appeared to be playing a somewhat stereotypical 'knuckle headed' person. In its favour, I quite liked the split screen present toward the end of the film and it did become a bit more tense in one key scene but overall it felt very much unmemorable. Also, I felt it looked very 1990s-ish, although it dates from 2003 I believe. There are no doubt worse films you could see but I wouldn't bother to go out of your way to see this one. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Quintessential Y2K movie. Not sure why all the hate from rotten tomatoes! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member It's worth watching. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member A fun movie -- no comedy classic but a fairly complex and enjoyable story with an able cast. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member The moral is, get a job at a bank. rob it and get away with it, decent low budget movie.

      Empire Magazine Rated: 2/5 Apr 1, 2006 Full Review Marjorie Baumgarten Austin Chronicle Rated: 2.5/5 Oct 1, 2003 Full Review Duane Byrge Hollywood Reporter Screenwriter Joe Wein has smartly wired these three bizarre personal stories into a raucously satisfying triumph of good over evil. Jun 3, 2003 Full Review Matthew Turner ViewLondon The comedy is extremely broad and there's a slight air of desperation to the whole thing, as if the film is trying too hard to be quirky and likeable. Rated: 2/5 Dec 8, 2005 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall It feels completely pointless, despite some entertaining sequences and gifted performers. Rated: 2/5 Oct 2, 2003 Full Review Susan Green Boxoffice Magazine The word 'quirky' should be stricken from the English language if Hollywood doesn't stop churning out comedic romps that try too hard.
