Silly doesn't equal funny
6 January 2017
What could possibly go wrong?

The director of Napoleon Dynamite, Jared Hess, teams up with the A-list of Hollywood's comedians in a film based on the largest robbery in US history.

Sounds to good to be true, doesn't it.

What we get, kind of, is like two solid hours of Zach Galifianakis doing his Alan shtick from Hangover. It's bad taste and hijinks and unbelievably bad Texan accents and the neon-coloured Eighties. It's silly, but never acquires enough momentum to be funny.

A classic case of too much of a good thing, really. Maybe Jared and Zach are too much alike in their love of wackiness.
