The Bank Dick
CriticsCritics: 95
AudienceAudience: 6.9
A hard-drinking family man becomes an unlikely local hero after accidentally disrupting a bank robbery. Rewarded with a bank-guard job, he soon gets drawn into a questionable investment scheme, a nervous audit, and a series of increasingly chaotic situations.
You’ll enjoy this if you like irreverent classic comedy, slapstick, and slow-burn absurdity; Not for you if you prefer tightly structured plots or consistently laugh-out-loud humor.
