It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

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.

If anyone likes fun and intelligent movies this is for you. It about Tripp Kennedy (Patrick Dempsey), who is a very neurotic person who walks into the bank to get change (a lot of change), and meets teller Kaitlin, and notices two things: Number One: She had wedding presents with her. Two: The bank was going to be robbed. Of course, he had no idea that TWO bank robberies would occur at the same time, by two very different sets of robbers. One were Rednecks with the nicknames of "Peanut Butter & Jelly" and the other were more sophisticated robbers (One was Jewish, the other British, and the last one African American). Of course, it turns out that Tripp, is a Sherlock Holmes type genius with an incredible attention to detail. Spoilers Ahead: What he figures out is besides the Robberies, there are other crimes involved, including a plan straight out of Agatha Christie's "10 Little Indians" is to knock off everyone in the bank by the top bank robber in the Country, Vicellus Drum, and no one is exactly who and what they seem (Including Kaitlin (which he lets her know about halfway through the movie)). Of course, (spoilers ahead), Tripp does end up with Kaitlin, but how he gets there,and finding out who is really Drum, and who survives and in some cases, actually thrives (besides Tripp), are what make this movie a lot of fun. 10/10 stars.

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.
