Boring

Better Late Then Never

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Why am I rating this nearly mediocre movie so high? Because being different is worth something. The plot seemed to be unique to me. I get tired of the same old plots and plot devices, and this one seemed really strange in a good way, which more than made up for the obvious plot holes and pretty average acting. Some of the script lines were pretty entertaining too. Overall, a short film that I enjoyed because it was so unusual and weird, not because it was great or compelling art. My suggestion is that you're only risking 87 minutes, so you can give it a try, and if doesn't hold your attention, just cut it short. For me personally, it was an unconventional movie that happened to be a pleasant diversion.

This is a very funny movie directed by Rob Minkoff and written by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore. Tim Blake Nelson and Jeffrey Tambor were the only actors I was familiar with, but the starring roles were played by Patrick Dempsey (as Tripp, our hero) and Ashley Judd (as Kaitlin, our heroine).The big picture is that a trio of professional bank robbers have paid off the bank's security expert to bypass the alarms but not, for some reason, the security for the vault. They enter just before closing time through a door on the roof. At the same time, two redneck yokels enter through the front door to pilfer the bank's ATM machines, which, again for some reason, are located within the bank's lobby. All hell breaks loose when the two gangs meet.Eventually Tripp, just a customer, brokers a peace deal between the pros and the yokels: each gang gets what they came for, leaving the other gang alone. The customers and employees are herded into the bank's lunchroom to wait while the gangs go about their business. The professional trio has a laptop, cutting torches, and arthroscopic tools to delve into the innards of the vault, while the rednecks have only C-4. The script kept me laughing without ever descending to slapstick, although our yokels dance the line. The dialogue is almost always sharp, funny when it needs to be, even funnier when you least expect a comedic outburst. There were two problems that bothered me. Tripp is an absolute genius who refers several times to needing his medicine, which for some reason he never gets. Tripp has a photographic memory, remembering every detail about everything that goes on around him, using tremendous powers of inductive reasoning to figure out what's going on when all around him are in a panic. He was too good to be real, and we were given no background information on him at all. All the characters were taken as we find them in the bank with no background, which normally I have no problem with. But Tripp was too good. I needed some information on him to understand why he went to the lengths he did to parse through all the action and make it make sense.The other problem is that the ending wrapped things up too neatly. I understand the scriptwriters needed to get us out of there and to the happy ending in 90 minutes, but they rushed the solution by me in just a few quick shots, and having spent an hour getting there, I wanted a little more time to have it sink in before Tripp and Kaitlin had their end-of-movie kiss.The plot is a predictable boy meets girl during bank robbery, boy gets girl in the end when he solves the whodunit, but the writers gave us a great roller coaster ride to get there.

its a shame that gems like this are not given any promotion, and sent straight to DVD. if it weren't for the internet and services like netflix or which ever medium chosen to find movies i would have missed out on a lot of great entertainment. and that is exactly what this movie does, it entertains.this movie was hilarious. the dialog was great, and the silly moments just pulled me into the movie even more. there were even some "holy carp" moments where i had to ask myself while laughing... did that just happen?. its like a murder mystery. like the game "who dun it" with guns and explosions, silly characters, and plot twists. all i can say is it was a fun ride. i thoroughly enjoyed this movie, and am planning on buying it to watch with friends, family, whoever.

I started watching this movie with not too much expectations. But I started to enjoy it quite easily. The film isn't the most humoristic in it's genre, but it has some good jokes and good scenes. And it's filled with a lot of great, though a bit cliché, characters. It's a nice movie you should pick up sooner or later.Then the downside: halfway you start creating an idea about the plot, but afterwards the movie integrated multiple twists.. A few to many in my opinion. The ending is still a nice find and the film is a must-see. But due to the multiple plot twists creating a lot of holes, you just can't help but feel some things just don't add up in this story, I gave it an honest 6/10.Quite enjoyable movie nonetheless
