The Ladykillers

CriticsCritics: 55
AudienceAudience: 6.0

A charming Southern professor gathers a mismatched crew and disguises them as musicians while they plan to rob a casino. Their operation begins beneath the home of an unsuspecting elderly landlady, whose sharp instincts make the supposedly simple scheme increasingly difficult.

My take

You may enjoy this if you like eccentric crime comedies, exaggerated characters, and dark, offbeat humor; Not for you if you prefer subtle comedy, tight pacing, or grounded characters.
