Description

You may sense something is different about this laugh-out-loud Spanish caper comedy: maybe it’s the spot-on satire of the economic situation in Spain, or perhaps it’s how fresh and goofy the characters are; but the main difference is that this film doesn’t have that cookie-cutter, sequel/remake/retread quality of American comedies that get a few cheap laughs at the expense of your intelligence. This silly and over-the-top comedy follows two bumbling hoodlums trapped at the bank they meant to rob when an unemployed man arrives with explosives, looking to make a political statement by blowing himself up-along with everyone inside the bank. A great look at the collapse of Spanish society, this is a comedy not to miss.
