A very funny movie, 25 July 1999
8/10
Author: Movman from Mt. View, Ca

I rented this movie the other night expecting very little for my $3.78 but I was pleasantly surprised to find a very funny movie. The premise is a classic. The old comic mix up. The funniest moments of the film come from the awkward situation another comedic staple. Like the female lead finding the two male leads attempting to rob her safe and then flirting with her. If your the sort of person who says who would do that then you need to stop watching movies altogether. The movie is in my opinion a good example of the nineties style of conversational comedy that Woody Allen began in the seventies and that Kevin Smith and others continue today. If you liked Bottle Rockets, Rushmore, Mr. Jealousy, or any Whit Stillman movie give this a try
