  1. A gem of a romantic crime comedy that turns out to be clever, amusing and unpredictable.

    Writer-director Chris Ver Wiel stocks this diverting crime comedy with familar characters and formulas.
  3. 30
    In the absence of sincerity, Cletis Tout creates a vacuum that flushes out the entire story, leaving nothing but its own hollow cleverness.
