It all begins with two friends, Anthony and Dignan, who have decided to break free from their monotonous lives and embark on a criminal adventure. With a mix of boundless ambition and a touch of clumsiness, Dignan, with his eccentric personality, has planned large-scale heists to become a renowned criminal, despite his almost nonexistent experience in crime. Soon, they recruit one more companion, Bob, who, after being freed from an involuntary hostage situation, represents the necessary disillusionment in this comedic trio.
As their plans unfold, the guys find themselves caught up in absurd and occasionally dangerous situations, all while trying to maintain a facade of coolness. However, the true heart of the story goes beyond comedy; it focuses on friendship, the search for identity, and understanding what success truly means. The relationship between the characters becomes the soul of the film, with their quirks and frustrations binding them even closer together.
Amidst heists, escapes, and an unexpected romance, the movie offers a glimpse into the madness of the American dream, showcasing that, although their aspirations may be ridiculous, there is something endearing about these lost boys searching for their place in the world. With a unique and visually charming style, it becomes an exercise in nostalgia for youth and the quest for something greater than oneself. In the end, what really matters are not the plans for success, but the authentic connections we make along the way.
