Palookaville
Population: 3 Good Guys, 1 Bad Idea
Arresting humor meets criminal comedy in this quirky romp about three wonderfully witless cons in search of a crime. Starring William Forsythe, Vincent Gallo, Adam Trese, and Frances McDermand, Palookaville is an "irresistible feel-good gem" (Screen International) that's "terrifically enjoyable" (The Wall Street Journal) and "hard to resist" (Variety)!
For bumbling buddies Sid (Forsythe), Russ (Gallo) and Jerry (Trese), a life of crime looks like a solid career move-until they learn they might be under-qualified. Plotting to rob a jewelry store, they mistakenly burglarize a bakery. Scheming to hold up an armored truck, they wind up rescuing the driver. In fact, their hilarious struggle to pull off just one simple heist proves that crime doesn't pay-if you’re too dumb to take the loot!

Could Have Been Funnier - MovieLover5
A nice inoffensive comedy about three losers in New Jersey trying to make their big score and consistently blowing it. While it's an 'indie' film, there is good acting by all performers and the plot moves along clearly enough. There are some good laughs in here, but it missed the boat on what could have been a very funny movie. Perhaps it's because the script writers tried to stay true to the short stories the film was based upon.
