A fun enough little independent comedy starring my boys Sam Rockwell and Mark Ruffalo. The plot is pretty basic; a case of mistaken identity leads a Jewish gangster to think that Sam (Rockwell) and Eddie (Steve Zahn) are top safe crackers and they have to crack three safes or else they'll be killed. There are some twists and turns along the way, including the ups and downs of Sam's relationship with the daughter of a man they try to rob from, that make it pretty fun but the best humor in it comes from the small stuff (a story about a pair of exploding slacks, Frank (Ruffalo) growing a mustache that is met twice with the compliment of 'Sweet 'stache.' and his response of 'Thanks bro.', etc.) Rockwell, Ruffalo and Paul Giamatti (as the gangster's right hand man) all give very fun performances that make the film an enjoyable ride. Rockwell's character is unlike anything I've seen him do; a very shy, geeky man-child who is just trying to get by and find love. He's great in it. The film is full of it's share of flaws (some of the jokes don't go over well at all, it drags a lot, etc.) but it's ultimately just a small, fun comedy.
