I don't know if I happen to just have different taste in things, but I can't honestly believe the reviews were as bad as they are. I thought it fit the bill as a comedy. It made me laugh. Comedy is such a subjective thing anyway. There isn't a lot of high-brow humor. That's okay. I loved the ladies in Ghostbusters and they're all here except McCarthy. Zack and Owen are fun also. It didn't make me laugh like The Hangover or Borat, but seriously most "comedies" that are targeted for the masses make me want to to stab myself. If you liked NTSF:SD:SUV, Rick and Morty, Children's Hospital or other things along those lines, I think this will do you just fine. I'll take my South Park to whatever canned laughter show any day of the week and this fits that bill.

The film is based on a true story of an odd group of characters who robbed Loomis Fargo, the biggest bank heist in American history. The film centers on David Ghantt (Zach Galifianakis) who was sweet talked into the robbery by Kelly Campbell (Kristen Wiig). Steven Eugene Chambers (Owen Wilson) was the mastermind behind the robbery and failed to lay low and leave town.The film was a fairly decent comedy, even without the factor being based on an actual event. Zach plays a mild mannered character reminding me of Jack Black as Bernie. Good for a laugh.Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity. Sexual innuendo, nothing explicit or overtly vulgar, such as: "I don't want him to finger me" type of stuff.

I found this movie on Netflix streaming movies. Overall I enjoyed it for the same reason I enjoy movies like "Dumb and Dumber", although this one is based on real people and a real robbery in 1997 in N. Carolina.Two employees who worked for the armored car company became pretty good friends and remained so after she either quit or was fired. The two are played by Zach Galifianakis as David Ghantt and Kristen Wiig as Kelly. He was sweet on her, even though each was married to other people. She knew this and used it to manipulate him into pulling off the heist.He was a supervisor with access to the vault, essentially all the money belonged to banks so it actually became a bank robbery. One night he loaded up all the money, over $17 Million, most in packs of $20 bills, and met his co-conspirators. Then he left the country to Mexico with a few thousands stuffed into his clothes. He was to be sent more money periodically and the hope was when things quieted down he would return to the States.But David was careless, security video was left behind, as well as some personal items. Eventually he and the others were caught and incarcerated, but over $2 Million of the money was never accounted for. There is a brief scene near the end showing where it might be hidden.The entertainment value is watching the haplessness of the crooks and David's exploits in Mexico. The two leads play their parts very well.

I watched this not knowing what to expect and found myself laughing a lot and enjoying it thoroughly. I was surprised to see that it was not better received (not too surprised though, as it seems only the most popular movies get any positive reviews and there tends to be a bandwagon effect). Based on true story of one of the largest cash heists in history, it follows the crazy story of its perpetrators and their attempts to avoid being caught. Zach Galifianakis and other cast members are hilarious. The makers of the film obviously took pains to add little details to every scene that really add to the comedy. In the beginning, for example, there is a scene of awkwardfamilyphotos.com style engagement photos that is so great. Plot twists as the film progressed to its conclusion kept the story interesting. There were some parts that were hard to buy, but it was a comedy after all. It's on Netflix currently.
