Jason 'Jinx' Taylor: Life is stealing from you. Literally. Surcharge by surcharge. Convenience is bleeding you dry. Nickel by nickel. Chump change. That dime you don't even bother to bend over to pick up on the sidewalk is the same dime you get bent over for by all these services...

Teenage Comedy, 29 November 2008
2/10
Author: warmtrooper from Berkeley, CA

The DVD jacket premise was interesting: a kid gets accidentally locked in the bank's vault during a robbery.

I knew this would be sort of slick, Hollywood stuff. But what I didn't know is that it would be trying to be a teenage comedy. And it was not funny.

"Cool" music every second (God forbid any silence), an impossibly hot and just-turned-18 robbery accomplice who says she got her tip off an internet Duran Duran blog. The first l0 minutes of the film are completely wasted, as we think we are seeing the main character prepare for a bank job, repeating stupid ad-hoc questions from his "hostage". But we learn this is not a rehearsal, just lazy stupid dialog to introduce us to the frivolity of this film.

At least it sets the tone correctly for what is to follow. Teenage comedy...inside a bank robbery job! yay.
