    Storyline

    Edit

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The storyline is loosely based on real life bank robbers Terry Lee Conner and Joseph Dougherty. Many elements of their heists are accurately depicted in this film, including breaking into the house of a bank manager, and giving a soda to one of their victims.
    • Goofs
      Joe and Kate appear to switch sides in bed - but one of the shots is as seen in the mirror and there is no continuity error.
    • Quotes

      [Terry is at the drive-up window as the police pull up]

      Policeman: Where's Dottie?

      Terry: Who?

      Policeman: The drive-up girl.

      Terry: Oh, yes, Dottie. Of course. She's... sick.

      Policeman: Sick with what?

      Terry: Vaginitis. She's been suffering from an abnormal vaginal discharge. You know the common symptoms, a viscous fluid, usually associated with... uh... vaginitis.

      [the police drive away looking embarrassed]

    • Crazy credits
      During the end credits on the left side of the screen, you see 2 events happening: 1) Harvey and Claire (the Pink Boots girl) getting married in Mexico & 2) Some more outtake footage from the bandits' interview with Darren Head.
    • Alternate versions
      In an alternate ending, Kate Wheeler (Cate Blanchett) is holding Joe's (Bruce Willis) and Terry's (Billy Bob Thornton) hands while watching the wedding, and she is pregnant. Letting the viewer speculate which man is the father.

    Entertaining Comedy
    Fun but no great shakes. Not the best of Barry Levinson's movies but certainly not the worse either.

    Billy Bob Thornton is hysterical as Bruce Willis' partner in crime. Their method of bank robbery is rather considerate, all things considered, and kind of touching. They visit the bank president the night before and get in with his cooperation. Why this happens without incident is anyone's guess, but I don't think its supposed to be deep or insightful or anything, and I don't mean that it insults the audience either.

    Cate Blanchett is along for the ride, eventually. She doesn't belong with them, or anyone else, but she adds a lot of fun.

    I'd rate Billy Bob's hypochondriac in this alongside Woody Allen's in "Hannah And Her Sisters". 7/10.
