Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
A comedy road movie built around the clashing of charismas rather than the crashing of cars, this is an instantly likeable triumph of optimism over opportunism which reserves a wide conspiratorial wink for its five sunny-side crazies - all packed into a getaway limo after a nervous heist; all busily airing their various obsessions over health, wealth and the great American orgasm. Jaglom hooks you early with his 'old-fashioned' little-guy duo, then steps up the surprises and widens the sparring ring for an improvised unisex tag-match. The result's the sort of movie you'll find yourself humming along to.Author: PT
