Sitting down with this, I was afraid to see what was going to appear on the screen. I had no real expectations of the film, and I had no idea what it was about, other than who was in it, and the cover looked like a good heist kind of movie. Wow. It was so much better than I ever would have imagined. Not only was it actually funny, and not just trying to be funny and then totally failed during the trial, but actually, truly funny. The lines were well-written, the acting was all right on, and I thought everyone was perfect for the characters they'd been given except for one person, and that was Woody Harrelson. He was good, but I just don't consider him all that funny, and so it was kind of a bad choice, in my opinion anyway, to cast him in this role. Alicia Silverstone was really good, surprisingly enough, and didn't carry any of her 'Clueless' days along with her for this role. John Cleese was just right for the role that he was given, David Krumholtz was annoyingly good (because that's what his character required), and drum roll please...the best person in the whole movie was, Paulo Castanzo. He was hilarious, as he always is, and very smart. He delivers his lines perfectly and without failure, always makes each and every one of his scenes priceless and memorable. The basic plot of this film is that there are three employees of a bank in a small no-name town, who all want to rob the bank for different reasons. The movie starts off at the end, and works it's way backwards, so that you see what happens, in order for the rest of the film to make sense. It was cleverly written, and very much over looked. Although we won't be seeing any Oscar nominations for this film, it still was noteworthy and definitely worth the rental fee. There is no sex, no violence, and no language as far as I remember, so the whole film would be appropriate for younger audience viewers. I enjoyed it immensely and recommend it without question. It's rare that a movie like this comes along, that's quick and smart. Check it out, you won't be disappointed.

This film is really funny. The hilarious ice cream scene kept us laughing for at least a couple of minutes. Woody Harrelson, Alicia Silverstone and Paulo Costanzo are 3 Bank Employees who rob the bank where they work. They all have their own reasons and act separately from one another but each pulls off his own heist on the same weekend. John Cleese is laugh out loud funny as the evil Mr. Merchant. (His infomercial is hysterical.) There is some classic Cleese comedy here. Woody Harrelson had the audience rolling as he struggles to get into Merchant's house. Rachael Leigh Cooks' fantasy sequences are pretty wild. There are a lot of great laughs in this film. Definitely worth seeing.

A very amusing comedy-of-errors farce in which the lives of multiple characters become intertwined in ways none of them are aware of at the time. Not so laudably, however, it romanticizes the idea of robbery, even though the point is more about settling scores and taking risks. In general, it tends to make the lessor argument seem the better by blurring the ethical questions. For example, what is the difference between moral versus legal theft? If someone amasses a fortune through `legal' thievery, exploiting the desperate by selling them false dreams, is it therefore justifiable for the victims to steal from the perpetrator on moral grounds? In other words, are there `any' circumstances under which thievery, as defined by law, can be justified for other than legal reasons? Unfortunately, when we look for `exceptions' to excuse criminal behavior, we can always find them, and then we are faced with the dilemma of determining which is ultimately wrong. The film does not address such implications. Rather, it merely assumes that robbery `can' be justified under certain conditions, and then attempts to provide them. Evidently, robbery is okay as a means to get even with a false lover, or to break away from the `prison' of conventional values, to realize one's dreams, or to seek vengeance against thieves of the more `legal' variety. But while the moral ambiguities of this film are regrettable, the situations faced by the characters are too absurd to be taken seriously, and hence it succeeds as a farce. In reality, only a certifiable moron would conclude that this film was actually tying to promote robbery as an excusable act, it's just that morons aren't as rare as they used to be.

I saw this movie in the only theatre playing it in the state of Texas. No plublicity, and no profit made it a box office bust, but trust me on this one, it is a good movie. The writing and acting make it an unappreciated jem, much like Boiler Room. It is worth a watch if only to see Rachael Leigh Cook in that warrior princess outfit.

Scorched is a good movie. It has a good set up and seems to have been really thought-out and had a lot of work put into it, making it an entertaining movie. I like it when there are a bunch of characters and they all kind of have there own stories and they come together at one point or at the end of the story. Example, when Shmally and Doleman where running from Merchant and Sheila and Mark got involved near the bank. I'm surprised the Wein brothers never came out with another movie. There pretty good writers. I liked Marcus Thomas' role in the movie, Doleman. I think hes under-appreciated. He should get himself out there more. Great movie Wein brothers!

It's too bad this isn't more recognized. It's quite funny, and there are golden moments herein. This has plenty of characters... some might say too many, though I would say that a fitting amount of time is spent on them. They are all strange types, and in general this has a lot of that vibe, and, again, there are those who will argue that it goes overboard. The acting is pretty solid, Costanzo is excellent. It may not be the most demanding as far as performances go. The plot is well-written, and certainly never lost my interest. The pacing is fairly even. This has a couple of impeccable surprises. The music is cool. The majority of the jokes and gags work, however, it can cause a loud and reverberating crash when the others fall flat. The DVD of this that I have... R2, if that makes any difference... holds no features. There is rather little language, but it's as strong as it comes. There is no violence, if a bit of the physical comedy can come off as disturbing. Sex goes no further than minor dialog and eye-candy. I recommend this to any fan of anyone involved in creating it. Just be sure that you do not let yourself be exposed to any quirk for a while before watching this, or you may OD on it. 6/10

*** SPOILERS *** *** SPOILERS *** *** SPOILERS *** Funny and clever comedy about a bank robbery, done completely from the inside. Three of the bank workers decide to rob the bank, all for various reasons, unbeknownst of each other's plans, and during the same weekend. There are more characters, for example the Mr. Merchant ("millionaire many times over") done very well by John Cleese, the unemployed slacker Doleman, who is determined not to be the cheese, and his girlfriend Shmally who is mad at Mr. Merchant since his products did not live up to her expectations. All the actors are doing their parts very well. Woody Harrelson, Alicia Silverstone and Paulo Costanzo are all great as the disgruntled bank workers, and Marcus Thomas good also. Now the ever charming Rachael Leigh Cook is one of my favourite actresses. Her character was funny but maybe a few inches to the side of the central story, as the only major thing she does is to go egg Merchant's house, which in turn leads to other situations for both her and Doleman. Still I feel that her character could have been just a little more central. All in all, maybe not the most original storyline, but still funny, clever and with good casting. You wont laugh your head off, and the humour is not like Jim Carrey, but it's definitely good humour in this one.
