This is the type of movie that's fun for no real reason. I loved Brooke in this - funny, sexy, and she really made the movie. For story - forget it, but it was too much fun to stop watching. Far too predictable, esp with the bracelet, but there are many people that are that stupid. So what if there's no artistic merit to some fun movies? It made the entertainment that movies should provide. This was not boring.

If you need a harmless place to park your brain for awhile, this made-for-TV caper comedy will do. Brooke Shields never looked better (in a white-trash sorta way) as a teller in a southern bank, and is obviously having fun playing her 'Ditzy-Belle' role to the hilt.

Allegedly "based on actual events", her high-maintenance lifestyle prompts her fiancee to devise a plan to rob her bank -- hijinks ensue.

Good for a chuckle or two, with enough eye-candy to fill in the blanks.

It may have gotten better, but I gave up on it after 10 minutes and two commercials.

its got a very classical taste to it, more of an old school style.
this is seen especially in the ending. overall very decent movie.
i'm just not sure what was funny about it.

I would recommend this movie only to those that are big Brooke Shields fans as most of the acting is over the top. There are several sub plots which go no where and really don't add anything to the story (e.g., the bank manager's assistant looking for romance, the FBI agent's domestic situation). Shields is ok as the ditzy criminal lead, but Rip Torn as the FBI agent just phoned in his performance. Of course, if you have seen Rip Torn in any movie then you get the same performance. No emotion and nearly like a robot. Dylan Walsh, Shields's love interest and co-criminal is just as over the top. All of these actors seem to be unsympathetic caricatures of real people.

Bottom line - unless you really love Brooke Shields or Dylan Walsh, keep looking for another movie to watch.

Brooke Shields has always been great. The movie was unrealistic, yet really cute.
