Bank Brothers (2004 Video)
10/10
A comedy classic
18 September 2008
I've read several negative comments here regarding this movie and how it lacks in quality. However, I feel compelled to say that people who have made those comments, whilst entitled to their opinion, seem to have completely missed the point. This is an independent movie which was made on a tiny shoestring budget and has a real character and home-made charm all of its own. The sense of humour is wacky and quite unlike anything you would ever see in a mainstream film. The three main protagonists (the Bank Brothers themselves) are perfect in their roles. Just imagine three likable harmless idiots put together a story themselves and filmed it over a drunken weekend. If you imagine Homer Simpson and Barney getting together to try to produce their own blockbuster you might begin to understand where the movie is coming from -but it is even funnier. I personally went out and bought the DVD days after renting this movie and everyone I have shown it to (10-12 people) have had tears of laughter rolling down their cheeks. I would have to rate this as one of those movies which is so awful it has a kind of silly appeal all of its own and quite frankly I find this film to be a work of brainless genius. A must watch for anyone who can find time for a (very) cheaply produced and yet brilliant comedy.
