It's 1983, and hopeless junkie Dick gets an unwelcome visit from the past - his seriously sleazy former cellmate, Bug, to be precise. Bug requires a crash course in the 80s: different music, different drugs, and machines in walls that dispense money. The latter development gives Dick an idea. —Anonymous

7/10

Very entertaining comedy action flick, Underrated cast!

Not a classic or a masterpiece but a very entertaining comedy with some action thrown in. It moves along at a decent pace and had some real funny moments. It is what the 3 stooges robbing a bank movie would look like.
