Summary
Two friends head out to catch a bank robber with a little help from some unlikely allies.
This film made me laugh. As it is a comedy film I could leave the review right there and it would have succeeded in what it set out to do, but I’ll go a little further.
In many senses this film reminded me of something like Fargo, it had crime elements but also some comedy, and where I would say is the main point of divergence which for me makes this better is that where the former has dark comedy elements this is a lot more light. As many of you who read my reviews on the regular know, I find dark comedy to be a trying genre that is incredibly hit and miss, so I am glad this is more goofball comedy than dark.
I think the blending of this tale of these two friends setting out to catch a bank robber, which whilst silly has some serious elements, with the fact they are in a Golden Girls fan club and have a series off odd friends from that come and help them out is pure gold. It has a lot of good belly laughing sort of jokes and set pieces that have you smiling even when you aren’t laughing.
It is a very hard to dislike sort of film.
Overall, a fun silly comedy film that is just the ticket when looking for something to cheer you up when you’re down.
4/5
Pros.
It is funny
The merging of serious and silly
The characters are all likeable
