Before cornering the offbeat comedy market with The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic, director Wes Anderson and the Wilson boys (Owen and Luke) presented their calling cards with this engaging crime caper. The brothers star with Robert Musgrave as best buddies who opt for a life of crime after Luke is released from a psychiatric hospital. Unfortunately, this trio can barely pull off their socks, let alone a robbery. Good job the script is smarter than they look.
