Funny and clever comedy about a bank robbery, done completely from the inside. Three of the bank workers decide to rob the bank, all for various reasons, unbeknownst of each other's plans, and during the same weekend.
There are more characters, for example the Mr. Merchant ("millionaire many times over") done very well by John Cleese, the unemployed slacker Doleman, who is determined not to be the cheese, and his girlfriend Shmally who is mad at Mr. Merchant since his products did not live up to her expectations.
All the actors are doing their parts very well. Woody Harrelson, Alicia Silverstone and Paulo Costanzo are all great as the disgruntled bank workers, and Marcus Thomas good also. Now the ever charming Rachael Leigh Cook is one of my favourite actresses. Her character was funny but maybe a few inches to the side of the central story, as the only major thing she does is to go egg Merchant's house, which in turn leads to other situations for both her and Doleman. Still I feel that her character could have been just a little more central.
All in all, maybe not the most original storyline, but still funny, clever and with good casting. You wont laugh your head off, and the humour is not like Jim Carrey, but it's definitely good humour in this one.
