Summary
A couple get some unexpected money from the IRS and then go about spending it whilst looking over their shoulder.
I thought that this film was nice wish fulfilment, the idea of getting a large sum of money and just spending it is always satisfying to see realised on screen as you get to think what would you do in that situation if you got that same amount of money.
As for the comedy of the film, I thought that there were a few humorous over the top situations that came about as a result of them spending their money like it was going out of fashion, however, I would say it was not as funny as The Golden Boys, by the same studios, as I prefer absurdism.
I think that the characters feel like real people and that is nice and you can really buy into the world of the film and relate to them.
Overall, a fun time but one that is not as laugh a minute as the studios’ other work
3/5
Pros.
Some good jokes
Relatable characters
A good pace
Cons.
It repeats some unfunny jokes
It doesn’t fully develop its premise in a meaningful way
