Set in present day Burbank, California and the surrounding San Fernando Valley area, . BENNY BIG-TIME (The BBT) learns his brother has been arrested on suspicion of a few recent bank robberies. With every bit of the life savings he's socked away over the years, The BBT hatches a plan to help out this older brother escape the repercussions of his fate by complicating his own with the assistance of five close friends -- ERIK, DEREK, JAMIE, K.C. and KYLE. The gang have only four days to create a 'red herring' that will throw off the officials and clear The BBT's brother's name by actually robbing a small bank. If all goes to plan, this is enough 'reasonable doubt' in the brother's case to clear his name. The BBT figures to exactly recreate his brother's crime and arm himself with only a few folders of photographs which contain the bank tellers' friends, families, pets, places of residence and ...

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

This is a low budget film shot with a hand held camera by someone who doesn't know how to operate a camera and most likely has never seen a movie. A group of guys decide to rob a bank, something we never see, just the planning. The planning consisted of extremely boring dialog and bad camera angles including the backs of heads, head cut offs and what are the doing now?At one point the film attempts to be funny by using English subscripts for a guy talking slang, but it really wasn't necessary, nor was it as funny as when we saw it in "Airplane."The film also lacks an on screen climax because Doug couldn't figure out how to make the inside of his apartment look like a bank.It should be a crime to sell or rent this film.Parental Guide: F-bomb. Sex talk. No sex or nudity.

The very first thing I have to say about this movie is how misleading the movie poster is from the actual movie. There is a ringing in my head about not judging a book by its cover. I wasn't expecting a blockbuster, but the poster leads you to believe there is at least an attempt at an action movie. An action movie that I will say doesn't exist. Although the movie had a couple of enjoyable parts I couldn't help but feel ripped off. I was expecting something more than a low budget movie and don't get me wrong I am not against low budget films; I just didn't expect this to be one. Now before anyone says if you just looked it up you would have known. You're right. Although at the time I was just scrolling through available movies to download onto my iPad. After numerous times of passing this title, I decided to give it a chance and I really was not expecting much nor was I expecting the quality of film that it ended up being.The movie was about a guy who pays each one of his friends to help mimic a bank heist that his brother was just busted for. The idea was to cause reasonable doubt that the brother committed the crime. Everyone had their job. The movie was filled with a lot of long drawn out scenes that made you question what you were watching. There was a long scene in which you watch one of the characters work out. Seriously. How pointless was that? After all you watch, you never see the bank heist that should cast reasonable doubt for the brother in jail as the movie ends right before he enters the bank. I wouldn't recommend this movie, but if you were going to watch it just know it is low budgeted with long pointless scenes and no actually bank heist.

You know all those scenes from Tarantino movies where characters talk about random stuff to each other? Tarantino does them right. Whoever did this movie does not.That would not be much of a problem if there was more to this movie, however that is ALL that this movie is. No action, just those rambling stories.I liked few jokes in scene in a car between guy with dreads and guy with glasses, but that was just about only barely OK part of entire movie.As I marked this 'spoiler' here's a big one ... there is no bank robbery. The entire thing is basically just bunch of guys talking about how they are going to do it, and then just nothing.It left me feeling disappointed. In a bad way. Like being young in back of the car with girl, but her going 'this is as far as I go' and going home with blue balls. Not cool.

Again a movie that shows off Laurels that it does not deserve, that were given by some theater in Hollywood just because the movie was made locally. This movie is crap unless it is a student film that is still waiting for a grade. I would fail it, but at least it would not be pretending that it was a real full movie that is worth watching. This mess of genre mix-ups is so bad, I just need to point out why. The cast are all acting for, and to themselves, they are rarely if ever actually interacting with each other, or truly reacting to one another between lines. Each actor is in their own little bubble, and seem to be reading off different scripts some times as well. The dynamic of the group as a whole just feels faked, and unrehearsed. The "Al Pacino" inner monologue is sad at best, and not funny, then it gets worse. There is a need by the director to over play every scene, from filming angles to locations there is just too much unnecessary clutter, and not enough actual quality to make up for it. Well I did not Enjoy this, and I am pretty sure it's a safe bet you won't either.
