Featured review
and that 'all in one' doesn't work!
the problem with this movie isn't the story but how the producers put it together! it's as if they didn't have enough conviction to the story as it actually happened. you discover at the end of the movie that the story is based on an actual event.
i do so wish they had stuck with the chronological telling of the two brothers and their quest through cell phones and credit cards to become wealthy. which actually happens, but that part of the story is squeezed between 'relationships' with other people and comic scenes.
Devane really doesn't add anything to the acting. it just stumbles along then you discover that they go broke but the girl stays. big deal.
i think they missed an opportunity to make a compelling story of overly ambitious people in both the private business world and government regulators.
