I haven't laughed this hard in a long time! Loved it! We constantly quote this movie now.

I wanted to like it, but I didn't laugh that much. It was very odd where I couldn't tell if parts of it were supposed to be funny. There was no reason why 17 million was stolen and I find it hard to believe it was all a true story.

(Flash Review)One would think that driving an armored truck for a living and knowing how much cash is sitting behind you that it may be tempting to dream about stealing it. Actually based on a true story, this is what one man attempted to do. Sparked during conversations with a lovely coworker, the two assemble am idiotic team to plan the heist. Of course with many heist movies there is some double crossing involved. How will things shake out once the wheels are in motion? Much of the cast is from Saturday Night Live and there are many slapstick moments along with bone-headed decisions. Overall, it is a stupid funny movie with the tone more crass than clever and of course it is over the top in moments.

The film is based on a true story of an odd group of characters who robbed Loomis Fargo, the biggest bank heist in American history. The film centers on David Ghantt (Zach Galifianakis) who was sweet talked into the robbery by Kelly Campbell (Kristen Wiig). Steven Eugene Chambers (Owen Wilson) was the mastermind behind the robbery and failed to lay low and leave town.The film was a fairly decent comedy, even without the factor being based on an actual event. Zach plays a mild mannered character reminding me of Jack Black as Bernie. Good for a laugh.Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity. Sexual innuendo, nothing explicit or overtly vulgar, such as: "I don't want him to finger me" type of stuff.
