Rating Criteria
0/5 – No value whatsoever. Absolute waste of time.
1/5 – Barely worth any time.
2/5 – Pathetic but has a bit of something to hold the attention a little.
3/5 – Somewhat kept the attention but could definitely have used more.
4/5 – Good, but not awe-strikingly amazing. Could have maybe used a bit more to the movie.
5/5 – Go see it! Wonderful movie all around. – characters, music, theme, story line, etc.


5/5 – *SPOILERS* This is a very good comedic crime movie. The beginning of the movie starts out with the bank robbery which seems to be sloppy. Of course, the main characters planned the robbery very well and managed to get out without much issue at all. The problems started up after they got out of the bank.

There are little things here and there that make this movie very entertaining: bad traffic sign people {not caring for if the signs are accurate or posted properly}, mafia issues, people giving bad directions on how to get out of the town or robbing them, bus driver being insistent on getting paid the perfect exact change for the bus fare to get to the airport, a guitar guy that was refusing to get off of the bus, a man getting a hair cut on the bus, lady selling flowers for the dead, non-English speaking cabbie (poor guy!), the mafia bagman Mario ratting out mafia boss Lombino and also loving Lombino's wife, the police chief catching Lombino on the plane that the main characters were on, and the trio getting away without being caught (even with so close an encounter). Very good movie. I highly recommend this movie and would watch it again in the future.

Why is it rated R for Restricted? Crime (stealing from a bank), mafia, threatening violence, etc. I kinda think that it could have been a PG-13 but okay. For those with kids, please pre-view before you let them watch just in case you think it IS a rated R movie.


That's my movie review. Thanks for reading!
