Watchlist:

Jerry and his two pals, Russ and Syd, are just looking for some easy money to help them break out of their nowhere lives in their nowhere town. Despite a bungled jewelry store heist which exposes their incompetence as criminals, a fateful event (and an old black-and-white film) convinces them that they can pull off an armored-truck robbery. While they are busy plotting their caper, their dysfunctional families spin out of control, all around them.

Why you might like this:

Fans of quirky, character-driven crime comedies directed by Alan Taylor will likely enjoy the charming incompetence and misadventures of the three bumbling would-be criminals played by William Forsythe, Vincent Gallo, and Adam Trese in the 1995 film Palookaville.
